You might remember him from the 2019 season. I think he might now be the only player on the team in his 30s?

Dolphins signed DT John Jenkins, formerly of the Bears, to a one-year contract.
A rotational lineman along the interior, Jenkins was limited to 11 games by a thumb issue in Chicago last season. He appeared in all 16 contests for the Dolphins in 2019, making five starts. If he makes the team, he should play 20-30 weekly snaps.

I like it. We're getting older. But yeah. 31 isn't ancient. We'll see!

Looks like a pure run-stopper.
2.5 sacks in his career...
He may not even make the final roster.

Thanks for posting Utah but there was already a thread about it so I merged yours
He’s not half bad. We need some 30+ vets to provide leadership. I don’t think a team ever won a title in any of the big 4 sports without any players over 30. It’s one reason this team wasn’t mentally prepared for Buffalo week 17 last year. I like a young team but you have to have vets who bring maturity, wisdom and other intangibles. I know the late, great George Allen and his “Over the Hill Gang” agree w me.
Jenkins is at 359 Lbs, that may help clog the middle.

Ok that bumps the need for a run stuffing dt to 2022 or 2023 priority. Dolphins currently have Jenkins, Seiler, Davis, Wilkins and Adam Butler to plug the interior front just need a few edge rushers to team with Ogbah and the dl line is set.
