Report: Dolphins agree to sign Jordan Howard to 2-year, $10M deal

The Miami Dolphins and free-agent running back Jordan Howard agreed to a two-year deal worth over $10 million, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

Howard spent the 2019 season with the Philadelphia Eagles after playing three years with the Chicago Bears to start his career.

In 10 games (four starts), the 25-year-old racked up 525 yards and six touchdowns before being sidelined toward the end of the season with a shoulder injury and supplanted by Miles Sanders.

Howard totaled 3,370 yards and 24 touchdowns with the Bears, including a 1,313-yard Pro Bowl rookie campaign.

Miami desperately needed to add to its backfield after a season where quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick led the team in rushing yards (243) and touchdowns (four).

Kenyan Drake was traded midseason, Mark Walton was released after being arrested for aggravated battery of a pregnant woman, and Kalen Ballage and Patrick Laird combined for just 303 rushing yards.
