When it comes to the Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones, it isn’t a clear case of him being a member of the 2020 team. In fact, he could easily be gone before free agency begins. In fact, considering that this was actually written six days ago, he may already be gone.
That is the nature of the NFL and the future that is uncertain for Jones. Miami is set to pay him $15.6 million in 2020 and while they would eat $8 million-plus, they would also save $7.5 million in cap space according to Overthecap.com.
The Dolphins, unlike last year, are not in a position of needing or wanting cap space so releasing Jones may not make a ton of sense.
