The Miami Dolphins entered the offseason needing to pinch pennies and nobody expected general manager Chris Grier to make a splash for one of the best cornerbacks available. Kendall Fuller signed a two-year deal in South Florida after splitting the last eight seasons between the Washington Commanders and Kansas City Chiefs.

The former third-round pick won a Super Bowl as a slot cornerback in Kansas City but spent most of the last four seasons as a boundary cornerback. That said, PFF ranked him as the third-best cornerback available in free agency due to his ability to play out wide, in the slot, and even at safety.

“I mean all of us are flexible guys that play multiple positions,” Fuller said of Miami’s group of cornerbacks. “So whatever the coaches want to do, wherever they’re looking, whatever they’re thinking is where any of us go.”Buffalo Bills v Washington Commanders

Fuller, 29. arrives in Miami at the same time as defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver, who spent the last three seasons with the Baltimore Ravens. Weaver joins the Dolphins after working under Mike MacDonald, who earned the Seattle Seahawks head coaching job for his work as Baltimore’s defensive coordinator, orchestrating a unit prided on versatility.
