Broncos plan to sign Dolphins S Brandon Jones

The NFL’s legal tampering window is officially open, meaning players can agree to deals with new teams but they can’t become official until Wednesday.

While the Miami Dolphins have done a great job re-signing a number of their pending free agents, they appear to have lost their first, as ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Dolphins safety Brandon Jones is expected to sign with the Denver Broncos.

Jones, 25, was selected by Miami in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft following a collegiate career at Texas. He was eased into playing time as a rookie before taking over as the starter in 2021.

In 54 career games with the Dolphins, Jones recorded 238 tackles (12 for a loss), 14 quarterback hits, nine passes defensed, eight sacks, four forced fumbles and three interceptions.

Miami also has DeShon Elliott hitting the market, so they need to find another starting safety to play alongside Jevon Holland.
