The free agent acquisition will battle to earn a role along the defensive line
The Miami Dolphins will attempt to make up for the loss of former defensive tackle Christian Wilkins in an aggregate style, including free agent signing Neville Gallimore. He was drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in 2020 in the third round and has played in 52 NFL games across his four seasons.
The Dolphins could have a worthy anchor on their defensive line, as Gallimore is a solid tackler and rush defender. While he is not the pass-rushing threat other interior linemen are, he will make his money plugging the middle and handling the rush. He played 288 defensive snaps for Dallas last season and registered 16 total tackles, a sack, 2 tackles for loss, and two quarterback hits.Gallimore signed a one-year, $1.79 million contract with the Miami Dolphins, which includes a guaranteed $665,000 signing bonus.
Gallimore will have to fend off other defensive tackles signed during the offseason to earn a role in helping absorb the loss of Wilkins. His competition includes new defensive linemen iTeair Tart, Isaiah Mack, Benito Jones and Jonathan Harris.
