The Miami Dolphins are signing a former first-round pick to help bolster their secondary for the 2025 season. Miami has reached an agreement on a one-year deal with veteran cornerback and former Pittsburgh Steelers first-round pick Artie Burns,

The Miami Northwestern High grad who played college football at UM becomes the Dolphins’ first offseason acquisition at cornerback.

He’ll likely compete with Cam Smith, a 2023 second-round pick, Storm Duck, who had a productive season as an undrafted rookie, and Ethan Bonner, who is entering his third NFL season, for the role as the cornerback who plays on the opposite side of Jalen Ramsey, a seven-time Pro Bowler.

The Miami Dolphins are signing former Pittsburgh Steelers first round bust Artie Burns, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. This will be Burns' fourth team in the NFL after the Steelers, Chicago Bears, and Seattle Seahawks. It will also be a homecoming for Burns, who is from Miami and played his college football at the University of Miami.
