Dolphins sign Saints backup Cameron Tom to reserve/future deal

We have signed C Cameron Tom to a reserve/futures contract.

Cameron Tom will get a shot with a new team in 2021 after signing a reserve/future deal with the Miami Dolphins. The former New Orleans Saints backup had a quiet career after joining them as an undrafted rookie in 2017 (out of Southern Mississippi, To The Top!), but this is a good opportunity for him to quickly climb a thin depth chart.

Tom spent the 2017 season on the practice squad, but drew enough attention from rival teams to earn a pay raise to keep him in New Orleans — at one point, he was briefly the NFL’s highest-paid practice squad player before the Saints signed him to their active roster.
