What happened: The Miami Dolphins signed first-round cornerback Chris Johnson and fifth-round tight end Seydou Traore, according to Adam Schefter. The deals move two more members of Miami's 2026 draft class onto the roster before training camp.

Why it matters: The signings clear offseason business for two rookies the Dolphins drafted to deepen the secondary and tight end room. For Johnson, getting the contract done early gives Miami a full camp runway to evaluate how quickly he can compete for snaps in the upcoming 2026 season.

By the numbers: Johnson was Miami's No. Traore was a fifth-round tight end selection, and their signings followed Miami's earlier wave of rookie deals this week.

What to watch: Watch whether both rookies are full participants when camp opens. Johnson's role in the cornerback rotation will be the bigger early roster signal.
