Returning to Miami
Needham and the Dolphins agreed to a one-year contract Saturday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
Needham appeared in five games with Miami during the 2023 campaign, recording seven tackles while playing 66 defensive snaps and 31 snaps with the special-teams unit. The 27-year-old will likely operate as a reserve option at cornerback with the Dolphins in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to return to Miami
Needham indicated Monday the Dolphins have expressed interest in re-signing him, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.
ANALYSIS
The fourth-year cornerback handled a starting role early in the year in Miami's injury-plagued secondary before he suffered a season-ending Achilles injury of his own in Week 6 against the Vikings. Needham will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason after making just under $4 million in 2022, and given his abbreviated campaign he could be an affordable option for the Dolphins once again as they look to rebuild their defense under a new coordinator, which is currently rumored to be veteran coach Vic Fangio.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
Needham emerged as a surprising UDFA starter down the stretch last season, but he'll likely only be called upon in a depth capacity going forward.
