Alexander spent a year in Cincinnati in 2020 and recorded 47 tackles and one interception while playing in 13 games (10 starts). His best season as a pro came in 2018 with the Vikings when he had four sacks and 10 defended passes to go along with 43 tackles.
In his career, Alexander's picked off three passes in 84 games (25 starts).
No terms of his deal with the Dolphins have been announced. Miami recently lost cornerback Trill Williams to an ACL injury that will keep him out the entire season.
