Defensive back Eli Apple, an unrestricted free agent who started at cornerback for the Cincinnati Bengals the past two seasons, tweeted "dialed in" with a dolphin emoji Saturday night after multiple reports earlier in the day that he agreed to a deal with the Miami Dolphins.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported earlier that Apple is signing a one-year deal with Miami. Apple has butted heads on social media with Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill, among others. When Hill was with the Chiefs and the Bengals defeated Kansas City in the AFC Championship in 2022, Apple tweeted that he would hook up Hill and fellow Kansas City receiver Mecole Hardman with Super Bowl tickets, but apparently didn't.
