Inks deal with Miami
The Dolphins signed Nixon on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Nixon hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2022, but during his two-year stint with Carolina, the 2021 fifth-rounder recorded 15 total tackles across 14 outings. The Iowa product will likely compete for a depth role on the Dolphins' defensive line this offseason.
