Dolphins Sign Safety Zayne Anderson

Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network reports the Dolphins have signed former Green Bay Packer safety Zayne Anderson to a 1 year deal.

Anderson is also known as a contributor on special teams, and the value he brings to that unit.

Anderson just turned 29 years old in January and went undrafted out of BYU in 2021.

He signed with the Kansas City Chiefs and was with them from 2021 to 2022.

He spent training camp in 2023 with the Bills, and when they let him go, he was then signed by the Green Bay Packers and has been there since.

Anderson has played in 47 games, started two, and has one career interception.

Both starts for the Packers came in the 2024 season with Jeff Hafley as the defensive coordinator.

Miami’s secondary is void of talent right now.

Earlier in the day, Miami signed free agent safety Lonnie Johnson Jr and cornerback Darrell Baker Jr.

With Minkah Fitzpatrick being traded to the Jets, Kader Kohu, Jack Jones, and Rasul Douglas are all free agents. Miami needs to replenish its secondary.

Ashtyn Davis and Ifeatu Melifonwu are both free agents as well and not expected back in Miami.

The Dolphins do have Storm Duck, Jason Marshall Jr, and Dante Trader all under contract, but they are all unproven players at this time and not guys you would want starting on a team.

Miami also re-signed Ethan Bonner a week or so back.

Expect the Dolphins to invest heavily in the secondary come late April’s draft, and to continue to look for veterans they can sign on cheap 1-year deals as well the rest of free agency in hte lead up to training camp.
