Miami Dolphins Make Bold Moves in Free Agency: Sign Drew Dalman and Re-Sign Quinton Bell
In a major shake-up to the NFL free agent market, the Miami Dolphins have made headlines by securing center Drew Dalman from the Atlanta Falcons on a $30.5 million deal. This strategic acquisition aims to strengthen the Dolphins’ offensive line and provide better protection for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
Drew Dalman, known for his versatility and strong run-blocking, has been a key figure for the Falcons, starting in 40 games over the past three seasons. His addition is expected to bolster the Dolphins’ offensive front, improving both pass protection and their ground game.
In addition to landing Dalman, the Dolphins also re-signed linebacker Quinton Bell to a one-year contract. Bell, who joined Miami in 2023, played all 17 games last season, contributing 23 tackles, 1 sack, and a forced fumble. His speed and relentless play style have made him a valuable asset on defense and special teams.
These moves reflect the Dolphins’ aggressive approach to building a playoff-caliber team. With these signings, Miami is making it clear they are committed to enhancing both sides of the ball as they prepare for the 2025 NFL season.
