Miami Dolphins sign Wisconsin edge rusher as undrafted free agent
Wisconsin's Mason Reiger has signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent, aiming for a roster spot this season.
Mason Reiger’s draft weekend ended without a call, but it didn’t take long for the former Wisconsin outside linebacker to land his first pro opportunity. Reiger signed an undrafted free-agent deal with the Miami Dolphins after the draft concluded, giving him a path to compete for a roster spot and bring his edge-rushing skill set to an NFL depth chart. NFL insider Jordan Schultz first reported the agreement.
Reiger entered the draft after building his reputation as a pass-rusher in Madison, projecting as an outside linebacker and edge defender at the next level. His post-draft signing placed him in a common spot for Wisconsin defenders who have carved out NFL chances by earning their way through rookie camps, preseason reps, and special-teams roles.

That recognition gave him a late pre-draft spotlight and reinforced the traits that make him an intriguing developmental edge player for Miami: off-ball energy, disruptive potential, and a willingness to do the dirty work that often keeps undrafted players alive through camp. Reiger’s next step comes quickly.
