Overview
- NFL insider Mike Garafolo reported the agreement on Thursday, noting the deal was arranged by agent Kyle Strongin.
- Pinion, 31, entered the league as a 2015 fifth-round pick and played for the 49ers and Buccaneers, winning a Super Bowl in Tampa Bay, before punting for the Falcons through 2025.
- Miami now carries two punters after signing 26-year-old Seth Vernon last week, creating competition for punting and kickoff duties.
- The addition aligns with Sullivan's stated plan to foster competition across the roster under new head coach Jeff Hafley.
- The signing comes during a larger roster reset that included trading Jaylen Waddle to the Broncos and Tua Tagovailoa departing in free agency, with the NFL Draft scheduled for late April in Pittsburgh.
