The curious case of Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones

In case you have missed it Reshad Jones is the highest paid player currently on the Miami Dolphins roster. Additionally, Jones is also one of the oldest players, and, he’s coming off his second reconstructive surgery on the same shoulder. Oh, and don’t forget that he actually walked away from the team. Jones didn’t go AWOL, a la, Lawrence Timmons, rather Jones just decided that he didn’t want to play for his coaches (Adam Gase, Head Coach, and Matt Burke, Defensive Coordinator) and refused to go back on the field.

Rewind to last year, where the previous coaching staff drafted Minkah Fitzpatrick (a safety) and gave Reshad Jones a massive contract extension, you can fully understand why they were shown the door this off-season.
