Dolphins Claim LB Dodson After Seahawks Release

The Miami Dolphins have claimed linebacker Tyrel Dodson off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks, adding defensive depth after Dodson's unexpected release despite leading the Seahawks in tackles. The Seahawks released Dodson, who had 71 tackles, 2 sacks, and 2 passes defensed over nine games, following a disappointing 4-5 start where the team struggled defensively. Head coach Mike Macdonald emphasized the need for changes, and the Seahawks previously traded Jerome Baker to acquire Ernest Jones IV, who will take Dodson's place at middle linebacker. Dodson joins a Dolphins team aiming for a playoff spot, marking a significant roster move following Seattle's underwhelming offseason acquisitions.
