The Miami Dolphins were very quiet in the first couple of hours of the 2025 NFL free agency negotiating period, and their first move was re-signing one of their impending unrestricted free agent.

The team announced Monday afternoon they had re-signed defensive lineman Matt Dickerson, who played four games last season after first being signed to the practice squad in late October.

Dickerson played 15 defensive snaps and one special teams snap in those four games.

A 6-5, 298-pound interior defensive lineman, Dickerson is a 29-year-old veteran who entered the NFL in 2018 with the Tennessee Titans and has played 40 regular season games but has yet to make a start.

Dickerson also played for the Atlanta Falcons in 2022 and the Kansas City Chiefs in 2023. Dickerson played in two of Kansas City's AFC playoff games during their Super Bowl run in 2023 but was inactive for the Chiefs' victory against the Dolphins in the wild-card round and for their Super Bowl LVIII victory against the San Francisco 49ers.

Dickerson was one of four interior defensive linemen headed for free agency along with Calais Campbell, Da'Shawn Hand and Benito Jones.
