The Miami Dolphins have reversed course and pulled the transition tag on defensive end Olivier Vernon, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Wednesday morning.
Dolphins have pulled the transition tag on LB/DE on Olivier Vernon, per source. Now a free agent. Will command big dollars.
The tag was worth $12.734 million, and applying it gave Miami seven days to match offers from other clubs for Vernon's services. Instead, the gifted pass rusher hits the open market.
The 25-year-old has accounted for 25.5 sacks over the past three seasons and has 29 for his four-year career.
