Miami Dolphins head coach Adam Gase will speak with the media from the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis this morning. I’m not on site. But there is one question that has been asked of me by friends, fans, and readers that I definitely do not have an answer for and hope Gase is asked:

Why is Koa Misi still a Miami Dolphin?
Asking for a friend.
As we sit here today, the Dolphins are optimistic Misi will be available to play the 2017 season despite the fact he had a serious neck injury in 2016 that required surgery. The team has known Misi was going to be available for quite some time, as I reported in January.
But, with respect, so what?
Koa Misi is a solid player and all, but I would never count on him or want him on my team because he’s a walking injury report. And as Bill Parcells once explained to me, durability is an ability. Availability is an ability.
And in that regard, Misi is lacking ability.
Misi played three games last season before suffering the injury that ended his season and had him seriously pondering retirement for several months until after his surgery. The year before that Misi managed 13 games. The year before that he managed 11 games.
Misi has not played 16 games since his rookie season -- in 2010. There’s a phrase for that: Injury prone.

Sometimes you need to land a new job before you quit your current one. That is the strategy right now. If we cut him, who do we have?
 
He needs to go. More playmakers are needed on defense.

He missed most of the year so it isn't like he's crucial to the defense.
 
We're not tight for cap space and there's no urgency to cut him. We can shop for free-agent linebackers, and then depending on how many we're able to get and at what price, we can decide -- at a point in free agency when other teams have filled their crazy cap space and given out their stupid money contracts -- whether to ask him to restructure to a minimum salary with playing-time incentives or to release him altogether.
 
We need bodies there above all else. We have to sign someone first then he'll be cut. Unless we're just going to ride 5 DL and 6 CBs.
 
Wouldn't be so quick to get rid of him even though there is a case for it. Him missing the year is a big part of why our run defense was as bad as it was
 
Is a BIG mystery. When (never) he is on the field he is decent at best. He struggles in coverage. Time to rid ourselves of him and free up 4.5 million $.
 
Man Ireland had an innate ability to draft injury prone players, or players that had injuries already. I can't believe that jackass stayed around as long as he did!

@AdamHBeasley

Chris Grier says right now, Koa Misi is in their plans. Also said that Ryan Tannehill will be ready for the offseason program.

:( Misi sticking around way too long. Hopefully its in a reserve role on a restructured deal.

You're right brother!! We NEED playmaking Linebackers as well all know...Ya what a gut check I get everytime I think WOW..
Odrick and Misi for Earl Thomas!!!
Let's all hope that inept decision making is in the past and with that your'e right.
WE have to move on from these guys who we waste money and high round picks on due to ability or lack of availability.

It's time to move on!!!
I, like all of us, rooted for Koa to succeed but instead the opposite happened.
The Koa experiment is over and I think we just want to have a back up plan (literally lol)

Those are the types of moves that kill franchises or if positive, can move on forward light years.
Maybe Tunsil was finally the luck we needed in the draft. These last 3 drafts have been successes IMO.
If we want to be for real contenders, we need to hit on 2-3 draft picks and grab a couple successful FAs.
Kevin Zeitler, Zach Brown (first choice at backer), Hightower, Campbell, Warford would be great to snatch two up...
PHINS UP!!!

Because he is good at football. Our fans mostly hate him because of the injuries, but luckily Chris Grier understands his value on this team. We need Koa Misi.

Since Misi is never on the field I guess his value to Chris Grier is to get Tannenbaum's coffee at Starbucks since Grier is tired of doing it.

Still the second best LB on this team. I'm glad Grier isn't stupid enough to cut him like most of our fans would lol. And now we gonna extend Reshad too, good work Chris good work. Reshad Jones is one of the best draft picks in Miami Dolphins history, can't let him walk.
