Flowers has played seven seasons in the NFL and is a two-time Super Bowl champion from his days with the New England Patriots.
He left the Pats in 2019 and signed a five-year deal worth $90 million with the Detroit Lions.
After a solid first season in Detroit, injuries limited Flowers to just 14 games combined in 2020 and 2021.
The 29-year-old former fourth-round pick has racked up 160 tackles, 10 forced fumbles and 31.5 sacks over 75 NFL contests.
Flowers now joins a talented group of pass rushers in South Florida that includes Emmanuel Ogbah, Jaelan Phillips and Melvin Ingram.
Miami defeated the Philadelphia Eagles 48-10 on Saturday in the team’s final preseason matchup.
The Dolphins will open the season on Sept. 11 at home against New England.
