Top 3 Free Agents The Miami Dolphins Still Need To Sign
The Miami Dolphins have addressed several needs this 2024 offseason. They added a few weapons for Tua Tagovailoa, signing tight end Jonnu Smith and wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. They also traded up in the draft for running back Jaylen Wright. They gained some depth in the defensive end rotation, drafting Chop Robinson and Mohamed Kamara. They also have added linebacker Jordyn Brooks and corner Jordan Fuller to solidify their defense.
While these positions were needed for the Dolphins, their most glaring weakness is clearly in the trenches. They have two big holes to fill in the middle of their line as defensive tackle Christian Wilkins and guard Robert Hunt departed in free agency. Dolphins’ general manager Chris Grier didn’t draft at either position and opted to wait to sign a bargain-free agent.
Campbell may be 37 years old and nearing the end of his NFL career but he would significantly impact this Dolphins team. He started all 17 games last season for the Atlanta Falcons and had seven sacks. He is an accomplished veteran with 105.5 career sacks and six Pro Bowl appearances.
He would become a leader in the middle of the Dolphin’s defensive line next to rising star Zach Sieler. Even if Campbell doesn’t start every game he would be a solid rotational piece. New Dolphin’s defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver also coached Campbell for two seasons as the Baltimore Raven’s defensive line coach in 2021 and 2022. Campbell should come at a reasonable price and on a one-year contract. This would be a low-risk high-reward deal for a veteran coming in to play for a contender.
