NFL Sports Blog Take
The Dolphins’ claim brings a player with significant college pass-rush production and limited but recent NFL experience to their edge depth chart. Kromah’s 15.0 college sacks and 28.5 tackles for loss highlight his production, while his two appearances this season show recent game action. Beal Jr. provided special-teams value and some defensive snaps, including a career start and postseason appearances with the 49ers. The transaction appears aimed at adding a younger, developmental edge piece while parting with a contributor on special teams.
