The Miami Dolphins have signed DT Daviyon Nixon to a contract, per the transaction wire.
Nixon, 25, is a former fifth-round pick by the Panthers in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Iowa. He was entering the second year of a four-year deal worth $3,798,548 when Carolina cut him loose.
Nixon was later brought back to the team’s practice squad following the final roster cuts before being called up a few weeks into the regular season. He was cut again later in the season, and had a brief stint with the Seahawks.
In 2022, Nixon appeared in seven games for the Panthers and recorded six tackles and no sacks.
