Dolphins to sign AAF sack leader Jayrone Elliott

Former Packers outside linebacker Jayrone Elliott did not play in the NFL last season but re-established his stock in the AAF, becoming one of the league’s best players. He drew interest from multiple NFL teams. The Dolphins will sign the AAF refugee, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com (on Twitter). Elliott visited the Dolphins on Monday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. A member of the San Antonio Commanders, Elliott led all AAF defenders with 7.5 sacks — more than his total in 39 NFL games across four years. But the Dolphins will kick the tires on the 27-year-old free agent, adding him to their much younger mix of defensive ends. He likely will join the Dolphins as a defensive end. Miami parted ways with Robert Quinn and Andre Branch this offseason and allowed Cameron Wake to defect to Tennessee. Charles Harris resides as the top name among the Dolphins’ once-stacked defensive end group. The Dolphins signed Tank Carradine but do not have too much in the way of depth at this spot.
