Kyle Van Noy had a busy Monday.
He reportedly first was “in discussions” with the New York Jets. But an hour later it was reported Van Noy signed a four-year, $51 million contract with the Miami Dolphins.
The linebacker, who spent the last three-plus seasons with the New England Patriots, was vocal about wanting to be a “priority” for a team. And it appears he felt he’d be just that in Miami. Van Noy also will be reunited with head coach Brian Flores, the former Patriots de-facto defensive coordinator.
Van Noy took to Twitter on Monday to all but confirm the deal with a simple tweet.
