p.m. update: The Dolphins have traded defensive end Chris McCain to the Saints. Miami received a conditional seventh-round pick in return, according to a source.
Signed originally as an undrafted free agent out of California, McCain had seven tackles and two sacks in 18 games over two seasons for the Dolphins. Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph said recently that McCain had proven himself as a pass-rusher but still needed to improve against the run.
DOLPHINS ROSTER BREAKDOWN
Except for their specialists in the kicking game, the Dolphins face difficult decisions at every position when rosters must be cut from 75 to 53 on Saturday.
And though these are group decisions, the final say ultimately goes to coach Adam Gase, who the team says has final say on the 53-man roster.
The Dolphins stand at 78 players, with three more cuts required by 4 p.m. Tuesday and 22 more on Saturday.
Assessing the tough calls at each position:
