If Rishard Matthews gets his way, the Miami Dolphins receiving corps from a year ago will feature all fresh faces outside of second-year slot man Jarvis Landry.
Matthews, a three-veteran used mostly on special teams, is “boycotting the team’s voluntary workouts in hopes to force a trade or his release,” according to the Miami Herald. Drafted in the seventh round by the Dolphins back in 2012, Matthews has 64 catches and 734 yards in his career.
The team cut receivers Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson in February weeks before trading Mike Wallace to Minnesota. After trading for Kenny Stills and signing Greg Jennings, the Herald reports the drafting of DeVante Parker in the first round last weekend was the tipping point, the moment Matthews decided to stop attending the team’s voluntary offseason workouts.
