Don't Sleep On This Miami Dolphins 2024 Free Agent Signing

The Miami Dolphins have secured a slew of contributors for 2024 — but this under the radar addition has the potential to be Miami's diamond in the rough.

This Miami Dolphins regime sure loves turning over stones. Some come via the waiver wire; such as defensive lineman Zach Sieler. Others come via the undrafted free agency frenzy. Miami has successfully nailed down a few successful defensive backs in Kader Kohou and Nik Needham in such a fashion. Special teams standout Elijah Campbell? Waivers. Promising young offensive tackle Kion Smith? Waivers. Second-year tight end Julian Hill was one of three undrafted players to make Miami’s opening day roster in 2023; joining DL Brandon Pili and RB Chris Brooks.

The constant churn and search for bottom of the roster players is real. And while it is far too early to tell who will be the latest gem to claim a roster spot for Miami in 2024, there is an early candidate who you should know.

Miami has been busy this past week and the central focus of the Dolphins’ additions is rightfully centered around projected starters like LB Jordyn Brooks, SAF Jordan Poyer, IOL Aaron Brewer, CB Kendall Fuller and others. These are heavy hitting names; former 1st-round picks, former All-Pros and players stepping into the shoes of some of Miami’s better players in recent years.

But with great power comes great responsibility.

There’s nothing under the radar about Jordan Poyer or Jonnu Smith. These players bring with them expectations; as expectation is the beast these Dolphins must continue to wrestle with as they search for a breakthrough in 2024.

Among the “others”, however? There’s most definitely a potential match made in heaven lingering among the overlooked free agent signings the Dolphins have hauled in. Be ready to expect the unexpected and meet Miami’s early contender for ‘2024 gem’.
