You're a paraphrasing yourself. Consider the circumstances mentioned after "being kept" - this isn't a glass half full discussion. He's on thin f***ing ice.

P.S. Smdh. Thanks Ireland. His last big draft splash is about to sink.

coaching staff that doesn't trust him to be on the practice squad but trusts him to cover gronk & megatron?

Intent may be to put a rocket up his ass and realize that this is his last chance. In a way I like that Tannenbaum and Hickey are effectively saying that his play and behavior are unacceptable. Maybe this is about sending a clear message not just to Jordan but the entire team.
but I thought we could get a 3rd lol
Jordan didn't want to be here from day 1, when we snatched him up from playing for his college coach (at least from his perspective - we didn't give Kelly a chance to pass on him).
Add to that the fact he was largely misused after he got here.
Now he's trying to force his way out. Simple. Players and their agents will always win this tug of war.

Dion Jordan would probably prefer to be cut.
He signed a four year contract for $20.6 million fully guaranteed, which includes a $13.3 million signing bonus. The offset language "means that if Jordan is cut before his contract is up, the Dolphins would only owe the difference between his guaranteed money with Miami and his guaranteed money with his new team."
So basically, if he gets cut, he can sign for a league minimum with a team that runs a 3-4 defense (like the Eagles), and his overall income stream remains intact.
Unlike the draft process, being cut means that he can pick & choose who he signs with. He can choose a team that runs a 3-4 defense, so he can be a 3-4 OLB.
It's like the NBA draft, when teams desperately trade out of the first round due to financial realities and they actually have to compensate the trade partner to do so.
With Dion Jordan, if we attach him to a trade we'll receive less than if he's not involved
You are assigning competence and intelligence to Dion Jordan

Dion Jordan isn't worth a 7th rounder.
Absolutely terrible football IQ, no real acceleration, absolutely 0 pass rushing moves, and just looks like a buffoon out there.
people who want him to play the edge in our linebacker unit - he will get ran over and towards every single play. Weak at POA and doesn't even know how to read a defense.
He should be regulated to special teams and 3rd and distance defense
