Dolphins pull transition tag off Olivier Vernon

The Miami Dolphins are removing the transition from defensive end Olivier Vernon with free agency opening up at 4pm today.

Dolphins pulled transition tag because they will get a compensatory draft pick when Olivier Vernon leaves; wouldn’t have if he left tagged.

We have withdrawn the Transition Player Designation on DE Olivier Vernon.
