Makes 13 stops Dodson recorded 13 tackles (six solo) and one tackle for loss in Sunday's 33-8 loss to the Colts.

Impact Dodson was a mainstay in the middle of the Miami defense, playing 100 percent of defensive snaps alongside Jordyn Brooks. Dodson logged his third double-digit tackle effort in nine games with the Dolphins, and he should continue to rack up stopz as a key member of the defensive unit.

Returns to Miami The Dolphins re-signed Dodson to a two-year, $8.25 million contract Wednesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Dodson opened the 2024 season as an every-down linebacker for the Seahawks, but he was a surprise cut after nine games and was claimed off waivers by Miami. He mainly played special teams in his first six games with the Dolphins before playing 100 percent of the defensive snaps in Weeks 17 and 18. Look for Dodson to build on that and open 2025 as a three-down linebacker.

Impact Dodson signed a one-year, $4.26 million contract with the Seahawks in March. He logged 71 combined tackles through nine games with Seattle, but he was waived Nov. 11 due to the Seahawks' acquisition of Ernest Jones from the Titans and the rise of rookie fourth-rounder Tyrice Knight. Dodson was claimed off waivers by the Dolphins one day later, and his role with Miami's first-team defense fluctuated, though he did register a career-high 15 tackles against the Browns in Week 17. Dodson will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he'll look to join a team who can promise him a more consistent role on defense.

Career-high 15 tackles vs. Browns Dodson finished Sunday's 20-3 win over Cleveland with 15 tackles (eight solo) and one interception.

Impact Dodson was limited to special teams work for the Dolphins' prior three games, but he started at inside linebacker Sunday due to Anthony Walker being ruled out with a knee injury. Dodson made the most of his opportunity by leading Miami in tackles en route to his best output in his five-year NFL career. He also logged his third interception of the season when he picked off Dorian Thompson-Robinson on a pass intended for Jerry Jeudy midway through the second quarter. Dodson could start in the Dolphins' regular-season finale against the Jets next Sunday if Walker isn't cleared to return from his knee injury.

Totals 10 tackles on Thanksgiving Dodson accumulated 10 tackles (five solo) in Thursday's Week 13 loss to Green Bay.

Impact Dodson played every one of Miami's defensive snaps in the contest, the eighth time he's done that this season. The veteran linebacker paced the Dolphins in tackles and registered double-digit stops for the third time on the campaign. Dodson is up to 71 tackles through nine games, putting him three away from the career-high 74 stops he recorded in 2023 with Buffalo.

Nabs pick vs. Patriots Dodson recorded five total tackles (two solo) and intercepted one pass in Sunday's 34-25 win over the Patriots.

Impact Dodson, claimed off waivers by the Dolphins on Nov. 12, played 45 defensive snaps in just his second game with Miami after Anthony Walker exited Sunday's win with a hamstring injury. The Texas A&M product led the Seahawks in total tackles before being waived and has now accumulated 76 stops across 11 appearances this season. There's a strong chance that Walker is sidelined for the Dolphins' Week 13 matchup in Green Bay, so Dodson will likely continue to see increased defensive work alongside Jordyn Brooks in Miami's linebacker corps.

Impact Dodson was surprisingly let go by the Seahawks on Monday, and it didn't take long for the 26-year-old linebacker to find a new home. He led Seattle with 71 tackles across nine regular-season games, and he'll bolster Miami's depth at inside linebacker alongside David Long, Anthony Walker and Jordyn Brooks.
