2025 NFL Signings Graded by Team: Miami Dolphins

Change Team:

This page lists all the 2025 NFL Signings for the Miami Dolphins. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the Signings. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the Signings, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL Signings here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

March 2025 – Signings


Dolphins sign CB Artie Burns (1 year, $1.35 million): C Grade
signed on 3/17/2025


It’s hard to believe that Artie Burns was once a first-round pick. He has been one of the worst cornerbacks who have seen playing time in the NFL in recent years. In fact, Pittsburgh fans came up with a nickname for him : “Artie Gets Burned.”

This signing can’t be graded in the F/Millen range because it’s a very cheap deal that won’t hurt the Dolphins if it doesn’t pan out. However, Miami seems to be wasting time and money with this acquisition. It’d be one thing if Burns were still young, but he turns 30 in May.

Dolphins sign RB Alexander Mattison (1 year, $1.17 million): C Grade
signed on 3/13/2025


This is much like the A.J. Dillon signing, which I graded right underneath this one. Alexander Mattison, like Dillon, is a has-been who hasn’t performed well in years. He once appeared to have a bright future when he spelled Dalvin Cook, but he has faded quickly. Mattison has struggled in recent years, though I’d prefer him to Dillon because he’s not nearly as injury-prone.
