Dolphins exploring trade or release of Ellerbe

Dolphins have explored trade for Ellerbe & plan to part ways (trade or release) in coming days. Would save $5.7 M against cap, pre-June 1.

Nobody is trading for this contract. We overpaid by at least 4. Mill a year

Here is more of the report from Jackson

Dolphins update: No surprise here, but the Dolphins plan to part ways with linebacker Dannell Ellerbe in the coming days. They have explored a trade (his $8.4 million salary next season would be a deterrent) and plan to trade or release him. That would save $5.7 million against the cap pre-June 1.

If he is released with a post-June 1 designation, the Dolphins' cap saving would be $8.4 million but that extra savings cannot be applied before June 1. Ellerbe injured his hip in the opener and missed the rest of the season. The Dolphins are expected to go with Jelani Jenkins at weakside linebacker; he was 22nd in the league with 110 tackles last season.

Phillip Wheeler also remains at serious risk.
