Dolphins Release Matthew Judon After Sackless Season
The Miami Dolphins have decided to let go of Matthew Judon, a 33-year-old player who has been with the team for a short time.
Judon, who has been a good player in the past, did not perform well this season and did not record any sacks.
The Dolphins are making changes to their defense and think it's best to move on from Judon.
He has played in 13 games this season and has 19 tackles but no sacks.
Judon has had a long career with other teams and has 72 sacks in total.
He recently posted a message on Instagram that seemed to hint at his release.
The Dolphins are also bringing back another player, Quinton Bell, to help their defense.
The Miami Dolphins are releasing veteran pass rusher Matthew Judon after a season with zero sacks.
Judon, a 33-year-old four-time Pro Bowler, joined the Dolphins in August on a short-term deal.
He recorded 19 total tackles, one tackle for loss, and three quarterback hits this season but no sacks.
The Dolphins are reshaping their front seven and have also re-signed Quinton Bell to bolster their defense.
Judon has 72.0 career sacks, 95 tackles for loss, and 177 QB hits across 144 career games.
