LB Sam Eguavoen

Eguavoen was a primary special teams player last season, credited with 281 snaps on teams. That’s a good role to have. But linebackers are rapidly seeing their value diminished in the modern NFL and Miami’s influx of defensive backs puts his role at risk. Add in the additions of Benardrick McKinney, Brennan Scarlett and Duke Riley to the return of Elandon Roberts in free agency and Eguavoen may have a tough time getting clear to the active roster.
