MIAMI -- Former offensive lineman Mike Pouncey signed a one-day contract with the team that drafted him, ensuring he retires a member of the Miami Dolphins.

The 2011 first-round pick spent seven seasons with the Dolphins, making three Pro Bowls before signing with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2018, where he made a fourth Pro Bowl. Pouncey announced his retirement alongside his twin brother, Maurkice, in 2021.

The former Florida Gator still lives in south Florida and owns a distillery with Maurkice in Allapattah. Speaking to local media from the Dolphins training facility in Miami Gardens, Pouncey was noticeably trimmer; he said he currently weighed 228 pounds -- down 70 pounds from his playing weight.
