2 playoff teams stand out as ‘natural fits’ for Jevon Holland, per PFF

Jevón Holland is expected to be one of the top player on the market if the Miami Dolphins don’t re-sign the safety before free agency begins in March. According to Pro Football Focus, there are a couple of playoff contenders that make sense as potential landing spots for Holland.

“Holland is a natural fit for both the Vikings and Chargers, two defenses that finished 2024 ranked in the top three in their rate of using two-high safety coverage looks,” PFF’s Mason Cameron wrote this week. “The almost 25-year-old safety runs those coverages at a high rate, and although he struggled this past season, he clocked a 73.0-plus PFF coverage grade in open coverages in 2022 and 2023.”

The Dolphins drafted Holland in the second round of the 2021 NFL draft and he’s emerged as a leader in the team’s secondary. But Miami’s current salary cap crunch will make it difficult to retain the safety.

Both the Minnesota Vikings and Los Angeles Chargers, a pair of teams that reached the playoffs in 2024, are top 10 in the NFL in cap space.

In Minnesota, Holland would reunite with former Dolphins head coach Brian Flores, who now serves as the Vikings defensive coordinator.
