As the NFL free agency period opens, the Miami Dolphins made a strategic move by re-signing defensive tackle Matt Dickerson. This follows his mid-season addition to the practice squad last year, where he eventually made it to the active roster for the last four games. At 29, Dickerson is expected to bring depth and competition to the Dolphins' defensive line, which will be led by Zach Sieler.

Despite being a lesser-known signing, Dickerson’s experience in 40 NFL games since 2018, including a Super Bowl victory with the Kansas City Chiefs, enhances his profile. The Dolphins are also looking at their free agents, like Calais Campbell and Da'Shawn Hand, to bolster their defensive front.
