He was our best player for a while, but those days are done and his play no longer justifies his salary. I'm sure he'll catch on somewhere.

The best part about this is we finally seem to be past the time when there would already be a thousand "Watch him sign with New England and be a Pro Bowler!!!1!" comments like there used to be any time a Dolphin player was cut.

And just like that, we are back under the cap

This was coming, but he'll latch on with an overpay somewhere. Lotsa child support to pay!

Looking at the Twitter feed on him getting cut it's obvious the amount of people that don't watch Dolphins games as they are all saying their team should sign him.

Nope. If he's cut now it's only a $2.8M saving and if he is June 1st we don't get the $18.5M till then. Team is still $24M over the cap.

Hopefully he didn't pull his groin when he was told.

New league year is next week right? March 1 I thought.

Hopefully he does sign within the division. Hill and Waddle would abuse him...if he's even healthy enough to play that week.

You can designate someone a June 1st cut at the start of the year so they don't get roster bonus etc.

Meh. Couple more cuts and a few restructures and they're fine. I sure hope they designated him post-June 1st ... the difference is too large not to.
