Free-agent defensive tackle Teair Tart signed an undisclosed deal with the Miami Dolphins on Friday, according to a source. Tart spent the 2023 season with the Houston Texans and Tennessee Titans, combining to record 24 tackles (17 solo), one sack and eight tackles for loss in 13 games (nine starts). The 27-year-old began his NFL career as an undrafted free agent out of Florida International in 2020 with the Titans. He spent the first three years of his NFL career in Tennessee and has totaled just 79 tackles (49 solo), 2.5 sacks, 16 tackles for loss, 14 QB hits, one interception, seven passes defended and a fumble recovery in 47 games (36 starts) over four seasons. If Tart makes the Dolphins roster in 2024 out of training camp, he'll serve as interior defensive line depth.
Free-agent defensive tackle Teair Tart is visiting with the Cincinnati Bengals on Thursday, according to source. Tart had eight tackles for loss in 11 games (nine starts) for the Houston Texans last year after he was claimed off waivers from the Tennessee Titans. The 27-year-old former undrafted free agent from Florida International played the first three seasons of his career with the Titans and had a total of 32 solo tackles, 1.5 sacks, eight tackles for loss, 10 QB hits, one interception, seven passes defended and a fumble recovery in 34 games (27 starts). The Bengals tried to claim Tart when he was waived by Tennessee last year. He's a logical pickup after former defensive tackle DJ Reader signed with the Detroit Lions in free agency on Thursday.
