Melvin Ingram has been a journeyman in his NFL career so far. He began his career with the San Diego (Now LA) Chargers, Pittsburgh Steelers, and the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran edge defender is now joining a bolstered Dolphins line-up.
Melvin Ingram, 33 years old, has signed a contract with the Miami Dolphins. NFL analyst Jordan Schultz reported the signing. The Chiefs got the veteran pass rusher to a free agent tender two weeks earlier. As a result, his attempt to sign with the Dolphins might very well affect the NFL’s compensatory pick formula.

While the bulk of the Dolphins’ offseason inclusions was on the offensive side, Ingram is one of the most significant defending acquisitions. For the franchise, Mike McDaniel seems to be on a major offseason binge. This relocation has intensified Miami’s protection.

During his tenure with the Chargers, the franchise handpicked Ingram to the Pro Bowl 3 times and had the two-digit sack totals in both 2015 and 2017. In the Seahawks, the veteran sports person draws some edge-rushing treads. In the starting lineup, he’d accompany Emmanuel Ogbah nicely.
NFL fans fearful of the Miami defense after Melvin Ingram merger
The NFL franchises who would face the Miami Dolphins should have the fear of the defense. The line-up has now turned into a devilish depth, capable of tearing up the offense in half. Not just the franchise, but the Fins fans have also showcased major excitement on the newest acquisition.

Finscentral on Twitter calls the Ingram signing a tremendous deal. The DL has a veteran yet fresh approach to having an absolute underdog-run defender.
Melvin Ingram is elite as a standup 3-tech. Miami LOVES to have guys play there on passing downs. Not to mention Ingram is an underrated run defender. This also helps keep the whole DL fresh at the end of the season which is huge.
