The Miami Dolphins are making waves in free agency, kicking things off with a major move by signing quarterback Malik Willis. But they didn’t stop there. On Wednesday, the Dolphins continued to bolster their roster with some strategic additions.
Reports indicate that edge rusher Joshua Uche, cornerback Alex Austin, tight end Ben Sims, and defensive back Lonnie Johnson have all agreed to terms with the team.
Uche, who showcased his skills with the Eagles last season, recorded 23 tackles and a sack over 12 games. Originally a second-round pick by the Patriots in 2020, Uche has accumulated 21.5 career sacks, highlighting his ability to disrupt opposing offenses.
Alex Austin has been a steady presence in the Patriots' secondary for the past three seasons. With 31 tackles and an interception to his name, Austin brings solid experience and depth to the Dolphins' defensive backfield.
Meanwhile, Ben Sims, who spent time with both the Packers and Vikings in 2025, made three catches for 30 yards during his stint in Minnesota. As a versatile tight end, Sims adds another dimension to the Dolphins' offensive arsenal.
Lonnie Johnson, a defensive back with a history of moving around the league, played for the Raiders last season, contributing 25 tackles in nine games. Since entering the NFL in 2019, Johnson has demonstrated adaptability and resilience, traits that will serve him well in Miami’s defense.
With these additions, the Dolphins are clearly focused on strengthening their roster across the board. Fans should keep an eye on how these new faces integrate into the team’s dynamic as they prepare for the upcoming season.
