Overview
- Miami moved on from Judon on Dec. 17, and because this is after the trade deadline he must pass through waivers before potentially reaching free agency.
- Judon, 33, produced 19 tackles with no sacks in 13 games for Miami this season after a decade that includes roughly 72 career sacks and four Pro Bowls with the Ravens and Patriots.
- The cut follows the Dolphins’ Monday night loss to the Steelers that eliminated them from playoff contention and continues an in-season reset.
- His exit opens snaps for younger defenders, headlined by second-year rusher Chop Robinson with additional opportunities for Cameron Goode and Quinton Bell, and Miami has not announced a replacement move.
- Reporters and analysts project interest from playoff hopefuls if available, repeatedly citing teams such as the Patriots, Ravens, Bills and 49ers as potential fits.
