Miami Dolphins Sign DL Ben Stille Amid Defensive Line Overhaul

The Miami Dolphins have re-signed defensive tackle Ben Stille, marking his return to the team where he began his NFL career as an undrafted free agent in 2022. Stille has played 18 games across three seasons with Miami, Cleveland, Arizona, and Tampa Bay, recording 17 tackles and two sacks. The Dolphins had an open roster spot following Terron Armstead’s retirement, and Stille joins a crowded defensive tackle room that already includes Zach Sieler, Benito Jones, recent draft picks Kenneth Grant, Jordan Phillips, Zeek Biggers, and others. Stille, known as a solid run-stopper but not the most athletic option, will compete for a depth spot amid Miami’s ongoing efforts to rebuild their defensive front after losing key veterans like Calais Campbell and Da’Shawn Hand. His addition reflects Miami's strategy of seeking depth and undervalued talent to bolster their defensive line for the upcoming season. The move comes as the Dolphins wrap up their voluntary OTAs and approach mandatory minicamp.
