The Miami Dolphins are signing former Atlanta Falcons free-agent linebacker Ronnie Harrison to a one-year contract, according to a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Harrison, 27, joins the Dolphins after a stint with the Falcons. A veteran with significant experience across the defensive backfield and linebacker corps, Harrison provides Miami with additional depth and versatility. The former Alabama standout originally entered the NFL as a third-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2018 and has also spent time with the Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts.
Throughout his career, Harrison has been noted for his ability to transition between safety and linebacker roles, a trait that fits the modern defensive schemes favored by the Dolphins. Last season with the Colts, he appeared in seven games, recording 20 tackles and two interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown. He now heads to South Florida to compete for a spot in the rotation as Miami continues to refine its roster ahead of the new campaign.
The specific financial terms of the one-year agreement were not immediately disclosed. Harrison is expected to join the team effective immediately to begin integration into the defensive system.
