MIAMI -- The Dolphins released linebacker Jerome Baker, the team announced Tuesday, in the latest of several moves the Dolphins have made this offseason to regain financial flexibility.

Baker was the team's third-round pick in 2018 and has started 82 games in his six NFL seasons. The starting inside linebacker was entering the final year of a three-year, $37.5 million contract he signed in 2021; releasing him saves Miami $9.8 million against the salary cap this season.

Baker, who underwent surgery on his wrist in January, was released with a failed physical designation.
