Source: Short-handed Dolphins agree to deal with Eli Apple
The Miami Dolphins have agreed to a contract with free-agent cornerback Eli Apple, a source told ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques on Saturday, confirming reports.
The former first-round selection of the New York Giants started 30 games for the Bengals across the past two years.
Miami coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Friday that Miami would be in the market for a veteran in the defensive backfield after cornerback Jalen Ramsey's knee injury earlier this week. And Apple, who turns 28 next month, fits the bill.
Coming off his second consecutive one-year contract with the Bengals, Apple started 15 regular-season games in 2022 as one of the team's primary outside cornerbacks.
