The Miami Dolphins made so many splash moves this offseason, that some of the smaller moves, like the re-signing of defensive back Sheldrick Redwine, haven’t been discussed as much.
Redwine, 25, joined the Dolphins last October when he was signed off of the Carolina Panthers practice squad, making Miami his fourth team in the last year. The former Hurricane spent the first two seasons with the Cleveland Browns after being a fourth-round pick in 2019.
During his time with the Dolphins, he was actually moved between the practice squad and active roster. He played in four games, recording two total tackles while contributing mostly on special teams.
This offseason Miami re-signed Redwine to a one-year deal worth roughly $1.153 million with $125,000 guaranteed. That guaranteed money comes in the form of a $25,000 signing bonus and $100,000 of his $1 million base salary being guaranteed. He also has a roster bonus of $127,500.
Between his limited role on the bottom of the depth chart and the lack of dead money created if he were to be released ($125,000), it’s evident that Redwine needs to give the Dolphins a reason to keep him around for 2022 in training camp and preseason.
