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, Mike Masala of USA Today's Dolphins Wire reports. This 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.
