August 27, 2024
Nik Needham has been released by the Miami Dolphins as part of roster cuts, marking the end of a tenure that began when he joined the team as an undrafted free agent in 2019. He demonstrated flexibility in the secondary by playing both cornerback and safety and started 27 games, recording six interceptions, including a pivotal pick-six against the Saints in 2021. Needham's career faced challenges due to a torn Achilles tendon in 2022, which hindered his recovery and led to starting the 2023 season on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list. Despite hopes for his role in the secondary during training camp, the Dolphins decided to release him. As a vested veteran, he will become a free agent and can sign with any team immediately. Only a few players, like Jason Sanders and Durham Smythe, have been with the Dolphins longer than Needham.
