Dolphins Sign RB Jeremy Langford

Jeremy Langford has found a new home. ESPN’s Josina Anderson reports (via Twitter) that the running back has signed with the Dolphins.

It’s been a quiet offseason for the 26-year-old running back, as he hadn’t generated any reported interest after being cut loose by the Jets in April. The former fourth-rounder split the 2017 campaign between the Ravens’ and Jets’ practice squad, but he didn’t end up seeing the field for a regular season game. He inked a future/reserves contract with New York following the season.

The running back’s last notable contribution came in 2016 with the Bears, when he ran for 200 yards and four touchdowns on 62 carries. He also added another 19 receptions for 142 yards. Langford compiled more than 800 offensive yards during his breakout 2015 campaign. The running back will be reuniting with head coach Adam Gase, who was Chicago’s offensive coordinator in 2015.

Langford may have a tough time making the Dolphins’ opening-day roster. Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore sit atop the depth chart, and the organization seems to be optimistic about fourth-rounder Kalen Ballage. Therefore, the two-year veteran will likely have to compete with Senorise Perry and Brandon Radcliff for a roster spot.
