The NFL Draft for 2018 has come to a close, which means it is now time for the madness of undrafted free agency signing. We will, of course, update you with all the news and rumors of prospects signing with the Miami Dolphins.
Remember, nothing is official until pen hits paper and the team makes the announcement - and the Dolphins typically do not confirm UDFA signings for a day or two. Players have been known to agree to join a team, get on a plane, have a new deal come in from somewhere else, and then decide to sign with that team. We may see reports of players joining a team only to have it never happen. It is part of the fun of undrafted free agency.
Everything we know or hear will be included below. If you hear something, feel free to share it with us in the comments.
Connor Hilland, G, William and Mary
Dolphins sign William & Mary guard Connor Hilland as they continue to work phones to add undrafted free agents (per BarstoolW&M).

Hilland is powerful, but he is heavy footed and does not pull well. He could be a practice squad candidate if he shows improvements throughout the summer.
Quincy Redmon, Edge, Fairmont State
Quincy Redmon, an athletic DE/OLB at Fairmont State, tells me he is signing with Dolphins as undrafted free agent. Had 17 sacks in productive college career.

Riley Ferguson, QB, Memphis
#NFLDraft QB Riley Ferguson in talks to get invited to camp as a undrafted free agent with the Dolphins, Eagles, and 49ers
— Stephano (@Stephano______) April 28, 2018
A potential rookie minicamp tryout. Ferguson is probably a career backup, and he has to settle down in the pocket some, but he has arm talent and could make a practice squad as he continues to develop.
Congrats to @Riley_FergQB4 . Another great young player to @Buccaneers ! #nfldraft #bucs #gobucs #nfl #espn pic.twitter.com/7WMlGRMo3M

Ferguson is headed to the Buccaneers, so he will not be conducting a tryout with Miami.
Jamiyus Pittman, DT, UCF
Stop the presses! Dolphins add a defensive tackle - UCF's Jamiyus Pittman, who had 13 sacks and 23.5 tackles for loss in college career.

Claudy Mathieu, DE, Notre Dame College
Notre Dame (Ohio, not the other) DE Claudy Mathieu says he's "taking my talents to Miami" (thankfully, he knew it wasn't South Beach). Had 58 tackles, 14.5 for loss, 8.5 sacks last yeaar.

Mike McCray, LB, Michigan
Steve Ross will be happy: Dolphins add Michigan LB Mike McCray, who had 79 tackles, including 11 for loss and 4.5 sacks last season. Some thought he would be drafted.

Dolphins expected to add another kicker after drafting one.
Dolphins say they will add a kicker to compete with Jason Sanders but won't be the highly accurate Pineiro unfortunately https://t.co/9HvyMKMCgP
