The Super Bowl is in the rear-view mirror, college pro days are underway, the draft is right around the corner and the NFL free agency process is running at full steam.
For some former Wisconsin Badgers in the NFL, this period usually sees them move around and seek new opportunities with different teams.
That is not the case for one former Badger, as the Miami Dolphins announced yesterday they re-signed former Wisconsin linebacker Vince Biegel to a one-year contract.

Biegel made his way to Dolphins before the 2019 season, a year that saw him start 10 games and record 59 tackles, 7 tackles-for-loss, 2.5 sacks, 13 quarterback hits and 1 interception.
Those 13 quarterback hits were the team’s best in 2019, though the former Badger tore his Achilles during camp in August and missed the 2020 season.
Biegel figures to have a role in the Dolphins’ defense next season. The nature of a one-year deal, however, does point toward a “prove it” kind of season for the five-year vet.
