Dolphins News: Dolphins signing CB Kendall Fuller to a two-year deal

[RedAlice]

The Miami Dolphins entered free agency with a big hole at cornerback after releasing Xavien Howard with a post-June 1 designation. However, on Thursday, Miami addressed that need by signing veteran cornerback Kendall Fuller to a two-year deal worth $16.5 million, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. Fuller, 29, was originally drafted by Washington in the third round of the 2016 NFL draft following a collegiate career at Virginia Tech that included two All-ACC seasons in 2013-14. The cornerback spent two seasons with Washington before he was traded (along with a 2018 third-round pick) to the Kansas City Chiefs for Alex Smith. He rejoined Washington as a free agent in 2020 and has been there since. In his eight professional seasons, Fuller has played in 117 games, recording 486 tackles (14 for a loss), 75 passes defensed, 16 interceptions, six quarterback hits, two forced fumbles, two sacks and two fumble recoveries. Last season, Fuller was Pro Football Focus’ seventh-best cornerback, receiving an 83.1 overall grade. New Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver will now have Fuller, Jalen Ramsey, Kader Kohou, Cam Smith, Siran Neal and Ethan Bonner to deploy at cornerback in 2024.
