Britt; Anthony Walker Signs with Tampa"},"content":{"rendered":"

Adam Schefter of ESPN is reporting the Dolphins have signed LB\u00a0K<\/a>.J. Britt, who was with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Terms of the deal have not been disclosed.<\/p>\n

And in related news,\u00a0Anthony Walker\u00a0who filled in at linebacker last year for Miami, signed with Tampa Bay.<\/p>\n

Britt will be 26 in June and was a 5th-round pick by Tampa in 2021. Britt has played in 59 games and started 15. For his career, he has 126 tackles.<\/p>\n

In 2024, he played in 14 games for Tampa Bay and started 11 in which he had 72 tackles and a half sack.<\/p>\n

Miami\u2019s linebacker room now will consist of Jordyn Brooke,\u00a0Tyrel Dodson, and K.J. Britt.<\/p>\n

The best role for Britt in Miami is as a run-thumping linebacker. He isn\u2019t known for his pass coverage ability.<\/p>\n

Anthony Walker filled in nicely last year when\u00a0David Long\u00a0was let go for his lack of performance. But Walker has a long injury history and couldn\u2019t be counted on week to week.<\/p>\n

For Britt, 2024 was his best season in the NFL as he was a starter for the majority of the season. Prior to this last season he never had more than 30 tackles in a season.<\/p>\n
