The Miami Dolphins are continuing to stay busy through the second day of the NFL’s legal tampering period, but this time, they’re signing one of their own.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Dolphins have agreed to a new, one-year, $3 million contract with linebacker Duke Riley. Riley was scheduled to hit free agency when the league year opened Wednesday afternoon.
Riley, 27, played in 16 games in 2021, recording 26 total tackles for the Dolphins. He will likely be used again in a limited role in 2022, helping to cover some of the tight ends and running backs in pass coverage.
With the Dolphins possibly moving on from Elandon Roberts, there are some open snaps heading into next year. Maybe some of those could go to Riley.
