We have released DE Mario Williams, DT Earl Mitchell and waived CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu.

Dolphins release of Branden Albert, while tough, makes sense. Tunsil to LT. Buy a guard. You can't keep going into years with fragile OL.

It makes no sense to say you’re going to release him and then not release him, and that leaves us with the most likely option to justify the back-and-forth: the Miami Dolphins have found a potential trade partner.
