Dolphins: Marion among cap casualties
The News
More than $10.5 million over the salary cap, the Dolphins severed ties with several significant players on Thursday and Friday, most notably Pro Bowl safety Brock Marion, linemen Mark Dixon and Tim Ruddy, wide receiver James McKnight, and backup quarterback Brian Griese. Miami is believed to have saved more than $20 million through these releases and the restructuring of linebacker Zach Thomas' contract.
Our View
The maneuvering may not be done either as cornerback Sam Madison and defensive end Jason Taylor need to alleviate these problems by restructuring their deals and nickel back Jamar Fletcher may join Marion and the others as a cap victim. This reduction in their cap number was essential, as the Dolphins need to find the financial wherewithal to sign their own free agents: defensive end Adewale Ogunleye and offensive tackle Todd Wade.

I don't know if i necessarily agree with all those moves... but maybe the dolphins execs know something i don't.
i sure HOPE they know something i don't.
