Former Falcons LB signing with Dolphins in free agency

The Miami Dolphins are signing former Atlanta Falcons linebacker Ronnie Harrison to a one-year contract, according to a report from ESPN's Adam Schefter. Harrison appeared in 10 games the Falcons last season, recording 29 tackles (20 solo), two sacks and two passes defended. The former third-round pick has spent eight seasons in the NFL, playing for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts before signing with Atlanta in 2025.

Harrison entered the league as a defensive back but was converted to a full-time linebacker role last season. Since being drafted in 2018, Harrison has appeared in 94 games (52 starts), recording 274 tackles (181 solo), 8. 5 sacks and seven interceptions.

The versatile linebacker can provide depth for the cash-strapped Dolphins next season. Miami has signed a few other former Falcons, including kicker Zane Gonzalez and punter Bradley Pinion. On the flip side, Atlanta hired former Dolphins special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman and signed former Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
