The Miami Dolphins made a roster move today, claiming defensive end Quinton Coples off waivers.
The New York Jets waived former first-round draft pick Quinton Coples on Monday. The defensive end never fit with Jets head coach Todd Bowles' defensive system, and they gave up on their 2012 16th overall pick. The Miami Dolphins, who face the Jets on Sunday, were awarded Coples' rights in a waiver claim on Tuesday.
The Dolphins are in need of pass rush talent, and Coples, who should be a 4-3 defensive end not a 3-4 defensive end or outside linebacker as he was with the Jets, could assist in replacing All-Pro Cameron Wake, who is out for the season with an Achilles tear.
