Jordan Phillips was Wednesday’s big news, but the Dolphins made an important, under-the-radar signing that should help their struggling offensive line:
Wesley Johnson, the Jets’ starting center for much of the previous two years.
Johnson should have a chance to eventually push Travis Swanson for playing time as the Dolphins try to figure out how to replace the injured Daniel Kilgore.
Johnson, a fifth-round pick by the Steelers in 2014, signed with the Lions this offseason but was released on cutdown day. He has been out of football since. Johnson appeared in 41 games with 24 starts for the Jets between 2015 and 2017.
