The Dolphins’ 2015 first-round pick missed much of the summer after needing surgery to replace a screw in his foot.
And when Matthews came back, Rishard Matthews had surpassed him on the depth chart. Matthews played so well that he earned a three-year, $15 million contract from the Titans in the offseason.
The Dolphins would have liked to keep Matthews, but in truth, it’s better for all parties. Matthews gets the starting opportunity he’s always wanted.
As for Parker?
"DeVante is going to take a big step forward," said Dolphins linebacker Jelani Jenkins.
Why?
“I'm not injured,” Parker said Thursday. “I'm healthy this year. I just have to come out and stay healthy and come out and make plays.”
