Dolphins have backup plan for Jones holdout

Reshad Jones is just two years removed from an extension he signed with Miami back in 2014. That hasn’t stopped him, however, from requesting a new contract and he’s apparently willing to sit out Miami’s mandatory minicamp to get one. With still two years left on the deal and Jones due $7.2 million this season and $7.1 million in the next, the Dolphins are not yet ready to pay Jones additional money. He’s already one of the highest paid safeties and the highest paid strong safety in the NFL.

The Dolphins would like nothing more than for Jones to return to the team and participate in minicamp but Jones has hinted he’s willing to sit out the season to get what he wants.
