Derrick Shelby – defensive end
2016 salary – impending free agent
Shelby entered the 2015 season as a back-up who simply wanted a chance to show what he could do on the field. An impending free agent, Shelby has stated that he wants to start or at least have a chance to start and there is no guarantees of either if he stays with the Dolphins. Depending on what happens with Olivier Vernon, Shelby may be viewed as the future in Miami. Especially if the Dolphins opt to move on from Cam Wake.
ProFootballFocus gave Shelby and overall grade of 82.
