He has appeared in 68 video games, beginning 24 of them, throughout his profession, recording 214 tackles 6.5 sacks, six passes defensed, two pressured fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.
The Seahawks have been on their bye week throughout Week 10. In opposition to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 9, Dodson recorded 9 tackles and a go defensed.
The Dolphins will likely be chargeable for $1 million of Dodson’s wage the rest of the season. Head coach Mike McDaniel mentioned throughout his media availability on Tuesday of the staff’s declare on Dodson, “It was a shock he was on the market.”
The Dolphins had introduced no corresponding roster transfer as of publication.
