The Miami Dolphins are letting go of veteran linebacker Matthew Judon, according to NFL Media. This decision comes just a few months after Judon signed a one-year contract with the team in August. Despite his relatively short tenure with the Dolphins, Judon has made a notable impact on the team's defensive strategy. He has played in 13 games, starting three, and has been a significant contributor on both defense and special teams, accounting for 41% of defensive snaps and 34% of special teams snaps. Judon's performance this season includes 19 total tackles, one tackle for loss, and three quarterback hits. While he hasn't yet recorded a sack, his overall statistics are impressive, especially considering his age of 33. Over his career, Judon has accumulated 72.0 sacks, 95 tackles for loss, and 177 quarterback hits across 144 games for the Ravens, Patriots, Falcons, and Dolphins. The Dolphins' decision to release Judon is a strategic move, as he will now be subject to waivers, allowing other teams to potentially claim him. This move highlights the team's commitment to evaluating and adjusting its roster to optimize performance.
