The Miami Dolphins have agreed to a two-year, $11 million deal with linebacker David Long Jr., a source told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
In four seasons with the Tennessee Titans, Long has 26 career starts, including 12 in 2022 before he landed on injured reserve with a hamstring injury last December. He finished the season with 86 tackles (52 solo), seven tackles for a loss, three quarterback hits and two interceptions — all career highs.
Long, 26, joined the Titans as a sixth-round pick out of West Virginia in 2019 after being named the Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year. As a rookie, Long played in 14 regular season games and three postseason contests including one start in a 28-12 win over the Baltimore Ravens in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Long is a high-energy player who finds the ball whenever he’s on the field and made an instant impact on third downs for the Titans.
He has 230 tackles, 4 interceptions and 2 forced fumbles in his career.
