The Miami Dolphins are bringing back a familiar face. Per Josh Tolentino of The Athletic, the team is re-signing linebacker Vince Biegel on a one-year deal. Biegel last took the field in a Dolphins uniform back in 2019, when he was one of the team’s only bright spots in an otherwise mostly dismal campaign. Biegel was slated to retain a rotational role in the linebacker corps before tearing his Achilles prior to the 2020 season. Now, it appears the coaching staff and front office believe he’ll be healthy and ready to go in 2021.
The Dolphins originally acquired Biegel in a trade with the New Orleans Saints that saw veteran linebacker Kiko Alonso shipped to the Big Easy in exchange for the younger Biegel.
