Jay Ajayi is gone. Jarvis Landry is still with the Miami Dolphins but he’s on the trade block and can be had for the right price.
We won’t know the full extent of the Dolphins work relative to these two players until after the NFL trade deadline passes at 4 p.m. Tuesday. But we know that in recent weeks the team’s braintrust -- coaches and front office -- became frustrated by both players for quite similar reasons.
The reasons?
Neither player has been fully bought in to what the Dolphins are trying to accomplish.
With Ajayi this was surprising because last season he was the NFL’s fourth-leading rusher and he worked extremely hard in the offseason to increase his value to the team by improving his pass-catching skills.
