Miami dolphins lose the safety Jevon Holland, but sign Elijah Campbell

The Miami dolphins entered offseason with three salaries directed for the free agency, and the result was now set for two of them.

Not long ago, Jevon Holland’s reports who agreed with a three-year contract with the New York giants, said Elijah Campbell agreed to return to Dolphini for a year’s agreement.

This leaves the veteran Jordan Poyer as the only safety whose status remains undetermined, with the probability that the dolphins do not bring him back.

The Netherlands was easily the biggest free dolphin agent this season – the only reason that Calais Campbell would not be – and it was quite clear to go to Mike McDaniel’s statement to the combination The organization considered that it had won the right to test the market.

Another way to say is that the dolphins were not willing to go to a financial place that would have been needed to keep on the Netherlands in Miami.

Holland got a business from the giants, worth $ 15.1 million annually, although it could eventually reach $ 15.6 million.

The annual average of the Netherlands is correct at the transition tag number, which the dolphins could have applied for no other than to trading safety. But then the dolphins were hit by this capture struck immediately and were blocked with Holland at that price, if they could not find a team willing to give up the compensation of the selection project, in addition to a long -term contract.

Finally, the dolphins decided that the costs do not justify keeping Holland, which was a four -year starter for the team after reaching a selection from the second round in the NFL project of 2021 and was a good safety for Miami, even though its performance did not suit its reputation in certain circles.

Holland had a few memorable pieces for Miami, especially the choice to “Fail Mary” against New York Jets on Black Friday, in 2023, and its forced fum, that turned around season 2024 against Jaguars Jacksonville, but it always felt as if it might be or maybe there should be more in its performance.

Maybe he will deliver this with the giants, in the same way, Brandon Jones and Deshon Elliott raised his game after leaving as free agents last year for Denver Broncos and Pittsburgh Steelers.

For dolphins, this was simply about maximizing – or trying to – the dollars spent.

In the case of Elijah Campbell, he will mark the fourth consecutive year, he signs a one -year contract with dolphins, it would be worth $ 1.9 million.

After the renunciations of New York Jets were claimed in 2021, he signed again as an exclusive free agent for rights in 2022 and 2023 and then as a free restricted agent in 2024.

While he made a secondary start in each of the last three seasons, Campbell’s value has always been on special teams, where he had an average of under 300 snapshots in the last three seasons.

In view of his price and value on special teams, Campbell has always thought he has a strong possibility to return in 2025 because I predicted in the final forecast of the dolphin agent.
