The Miami Dolphins found an absolute steal in the 2022 NFL Draft, signing cornerback Kader Kohou as an undrafted free agent. Since then, Kohou has developed into a reliable and talented slot cornerback, recording three interceptions and 28 pass deflections in 47 games. He arguably had his best statistical season in Year 3, with 45 tackles, three TFLs, two interceptions, and eight pass deflections, giving up 419 passing yards, two touchdowns, and a 79.3 passer rating in 15 games.
The Miami Dolphins tendered their star DB
The Dolphins placed a right of first refusal tender worth $3.263 million on Kader Kohou in early March. This allows him to sign offer sheets with other teams, and the front office has the opportunity to match the offer. Since it was a right of first refusal tender, and he was an undrafted free agent, they would not receive any draft compensation if he were to sign elsewhere.
The Miami Dolphins secure key defensive starter for 2025
According to Aaron Wilson, Kader Kohou officially signed his restricted free agent tender worth $3.263 million for the 2025 season. After the 2025 season commences, he will become an unrestricted free agent in 2026 unless the Dolphins sign him to a contract extension before he hits free agency.
