Dolphins sign linebacker, let go of two other defenders

The Miami Dolphins made three transactions on Wednesday, signing linebacker Porter Gustin, waiving cornerback Javaris Davis and releasing defensive end Daeshon Hall.

Gustin (6-foot-5, 260 pounds) can play the edge as a hybrid defensive end or outside linebacker. He appeared in 26 games with four starts for the Cleveland Browns over the past three seasons.

The former undrafted free agent out of USC has 47 career regular-season tackles, with a sack and two fumble recoveries. Gustin has also appeared in two playoff games, recording one tackle, an interception of Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and a pass defensed.

Davis had primarily been on the Dolphins’ practice squad over the past two seasons, but he was elevated to the active roster to play in one game for Miami in 2021, the 33-10 win over the Carolina Panthers on Nov. 28. Davis had two solo tackles and a pass deflection in that appearance.

Hall’s time with the Dolphins is over after signing with the team earlier this offseason, on Feb. 18. He has played in 13 NFL games for two teams — the Panthers and Philadelphia Eagles — from 2017 to 2019. Hall totaled six tackles and 1 1/2 sacks in that time.

He also played in two playoff games for Philadelphia in 2018. Hall spent the 2020 season on the San Francisco 49ers’ practice squad and the 2021 offseason with the 49ers, where new Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel was offensive coordinator.

The Dolphins are wrapping up their offseason workout program this week and then will reunite for training camp in late July.
