The Saints declined to match a $10.4 million offer sheet from the Ravens in 2018 and he spent the next three seasons in Baltimore before leaving in 2020. Other career stops include the Las Vegas Raiders (2021) and Panthers (2021).
Miami dropped defensive tackle Mario Kendricks to make room for Snead, who will look to make the team in a depth role behind stars Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, veteran Odell Beckham Jr. and special teams ace Braxton Berrios.
