The Miami Dolphins and former New England Patriots linebacker Kyle Van Noy have agreed to a four-year, $51-million contract, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

The move continues the Dolphins' busy start to the legal tampering period. Miami has also reportedly secured agreements with cornerback Byron Jones, edge rusher Shaq Lawson, and offensive guard Ereck Flowers.

In Miami, Van Noy will reunite with head coach Brian Flores, who coached him in New England while serving as the Patriots defensive coordinator.

Van Noy, who turns 29 on March 26, posted 56 tackles, three forced fumbles, and a career-high 6.5 sacks in 2019. He played most of his snaps near the line of scrimmage last season but was occasionally used in an inside linebacker's role throughout his Patriots tenure.

Van Noy helped the Patriots win two Super Bowls in three-plus seasons after the team acquired him from the Detroit Lions midway through the 2016 campaign. Once regarded as a draft bust after an unproductive start to his NFL career, the former second-round pick turned his reputation around in New England.
