The Miami Dolphins have strategically signed Matthew Judon to a one-year contract worth up to $6 million for the 2025 season. At age 33, Judon brings veteran experience to a Dolphins' pass rush that struggled in 2024 due to injuries, logging only 35 sacks, the sixth lowest in the league.

Judon, who recorded 5.5 sacks with the Atlanta Falcons in 2024, is expected to play a rotational role in new defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver's system. He will supplement key players like Jaelan Phillips, Bradley Chubb, and Chop Robinson. The Dolphins anticipate Judon contributing 5-7 sacks in 2025, providing depth and stability to a unit aiming to rebound from last year's injury setbacks.

Judon's presence is particularly crucial given Miami's challenging schedule, including two matchups against his former team, the New England Patriots, in Week 2 and Week 18. His ability to pressure the quarterback will be vital in these divisional clashes.
