Dolphins bring back linebacker Sam Eguavoen on one-year deal

Just after twilight on the second day of the NFL’s free agency frenzy, the Miami Dolphins locked down another of the team’s own impending free agents. Per Daniel Oyefusi of the Miami Herald, Miami has agreed to terms with linebacker Sam Eguavoen on a one-year, $2 million contract. Eguavoen is the third veteran linebacker to be brought back during the NFL’s “legal tampering period,” as both Elandon Roberts and Duke Riley have been retained by the Dolphins as well.

Eguavoen, 29, joined the Dolphins back in 2019. He had been a star defender for the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the Canadien Football League for three years before taking his first NFL snap with Miami.
