Why the Miami Dolphins Cannot Cut Cameron:
1-What They Have On the Roster:
Sims showed in 2015 that he is nothing more than a blocking tight end.
2-Too Many Needs, Too Few Resources:
Based on realistic expectations at draft time, and the amount of available resource in free agency, the Dolphins cannot be expected to fill all of their needs.
With that being said, why is it fair to ask the team to create another gap on their roster?
3-Lack of Available Talent at the Position:
The tight end talent in the 2016 NFL Draft is notoriously poor.
In theory, the Dolphins could cut Jordan Cameron. However, they would have to turn to the free agent market in order to replace him, where it seems that the search for a capable replacement would prove to be rather difficult.
4-Adam Gase was also responsible for the incorporation of Julius Thomas into the Broncos’ 2013-2014 offense. In that system, Thomas had 108 receptions for 1,277 yards and 24 touchdowns in two seasons. This production, specifically in the red zone, shows the worth of a pass catching tight end in the Gase offense.
No, I do not think $9.5 million is a good price for the Miami Dolphins to pay against the salary cap for Jordan Cameron in 2016. While I do believe that they are overpaying, sometimes that is simply the price of doing business. The organization took a risk last season in signing Cameron to a contract with this “make or break” structure. They are caught between a rock and a hard place. Do they overpay a player they know will eat up a substantial chunk of their cap space, or do they go into 2016 with a very limited group of tight ends?
Retaining Jordan Cameron seems like the most likely option for both sides. The team would be hard pressed to find a replacement for him given the available field, and they should know by now that Dion Sims will not become a weapon in the passing game. At the same time, Jordan Cameron and his representation will see an opportunity to cash in this season and potentially reach free agency one more time before the age of 30. This would be a good situation for Cameron financially, with the potential opportunity to receive two more pay days as opposed to an extension that would limit his future value.
