This wasn't a free-agent move, per se, given that Kenny Stills came to Miami by way of trade. But it was quite a good move for the Dolphins, nonetheless.
As soon as Stills was acquired, Mike Wallace was expendable. That's why Miami banished him and his $9.9 million 2015 salary to the frozen north in Minnesota.
In Stills, the Dolphins have gotten a far younger and cheaper version of their rancorous $60 million man. Possessing a similar skill set, the 22-year-old should be able to replicate much of what Wallace brought to the table for about $9.4 million less.
And all Miami had to do was give up Dannell Ellerbe—a guy it was going to cut anyway—and a third-round pick to get Stills.
