Dolphins Claim CB Ryan Cooper Off Waivers From Seahawks

The Miami Dolphins have claimed cornerback Ryan Cooper Jr. off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks as they look to bolster their secondary. Cooper, who went undrafted in 2024, began his NFL career with the Baltimore Ravens, where he spent most of the season on the practice squad and appeared in one game. He later joined the Seahawks on a futures contract but was waived recently. During his college career at Oregon State, Cooper recorded 82 tackles, 1.5 sacks, four interceptions, and 22 passes defended. With the Dolphins' cornerback depth currently thin following the departure of Kendall Fuller, Cooper joins a young group that includes second-round pick Cam Smith and undrafted free agent Storm Duck. Miami's roster now features two veteran cornerbacks: Jalen Ramsey and Kader Kohou, who is a restricted free agent.
