Dolphins sign K.J. Britt, lose Anthony Walker to Buccaneers

K.J. Britt has signed a one-year contract with the Miami Dolphins, moving from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have acquired Anthony Walker Jr. in a reciprocal deal. Britt, a fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, recorded a career-high 72 tackles last season and is expected to step into a starting linebacker role in Miami following Walker's departure. Both players signed one-year deals with their new teams, with Britt, 25, looking to build on his recent performance where he played 65% of defensive snaps. The Dolphins also recently re-signed linebacker Tyrel Dodson, further emphasizing their commitment to strengthening their defense. Britt's signing comes as the Dolphins seek to bolster their linebacker corps after losing Walker. The deals mark a significant shuffle in the linebacker positions for both teams as they prepare for the upcoming season.
