I know JO isn't a current Dolphin, but hear me out. He was one of my favorite players when he played here, and it's really surprising to see his career suddenly lose course.
After doing a little reading, his situation in Jacksonville ended pretty poorly. It seemed like he was happy to get released (judging by this photo with the caption "this is me getting released by the Jaguars")
Then he filed a $5.5M grievance against the Jaguars, who released him with the claim that he voided his guaranteed money when he refused to get regular checkups during injury rehab.
Then he went on visits with Miami and New England, but neither team signed him and there's been hardly a peep around the league about teams being interested in him.
There was a report out there that his non-football related interests caused some issues within the building in Jacksonville.

The above article goes into some details about JO's view on football and his...strange personality.
He had some other interesting views (goes more political than is needed on this forum) but you can read the article to see more.
Curious about why he hasn't signed, I went to see if he was active on social media and he's been sharing captions of brain neurotransmitters like GABA and L-tryptophan. And then this photo with the caption "I too was once drafted, first round actually. Now look at my life. I eat brussel sprouts out of cardboard boxes in row 17c, the back of the plane. Life comes at you fast kids."
I'm kind of getting the Ricky Williams vibe that he's now in a period of rediscovery after football. It's just strange to see him go from a solid NFL contributor to, for lack of a better word, outcast.
