The CB inked a 1-year contract with Miami during the offseason after playing in the last 3 campaigns for the Seahawks. Burns has not been a full starter in the past almost 10 years, but had the chance to compete for such a role with the Dolphins.
Miami boss Mike McDaniel shared yesterday that while the franchise believes in its current cornerbacks, they will try to improve in that position.
After Artie’s injury, Miami inked veteran CB Cornell Armstrong, who hasn’t played in the past campaign, and he was part of the Raiders’ practice team during the 2023 season.
