The Miami Dolphins have tendered cornerback Kader Kohou with a right-of-first-refusal tender as he enters restricted free agency. This action ensures Kohou’s guaranteed salary of $3,263,000 for the upcoming season. While he has exceeded expectations since signing as an undrafted player, the Dolphins opted against higher-priced tender options. The tender allows Kohou to negotiate with other teams, but Miami can match any offers made. Kohou has been a reliable nickel cornerback, demonstrating versatility in his first three years with the Dolphins, totaling 180 tackles and three interceptions.
Kohou has played above his original undrafted status in his first three seasons, but he hasn't quite risen to the level of warranting the more high-priced tenders.
The value of the right-of-first-refusal tender in 2025 is $3,263,000. Kohou has now locked in at least that much pay next season with the Dolphins.
Had Kohou not had the right-of-first-refusal tender placed on him, the cornerback would've become an unrestricted free agent at the start of the new league year.
Kohou has mostly been a reliable nickel cornerback, covering the opposing slot receiver, but he also presents enough versatility to move outside and play the boundary.
