The Miami Dolphins are signing veteran Rey Maualuga to a one-year contract, a move meant to reinforce a linebacker corps following the loss of rookie Raekwon McMillan to a season-ending knee injury.
Maualuga is expected to be the team’s middle linebacker, playing primarily on run downs.
Maualuga, 30, agreed to a deal that will pay him $900,000 in base salary (the minimum for a ninth-year veteran) and an $80,000 guaranteed bonus. The Dolphins will invoke the minimum salary benefit, which essentially means the nine-year veteran will count $695,000 against the team’s salary cap.
