A day after veteran tackles Ryan Clady and Kelvin Beachum had their 2017 options declined, thus making them free agents, the Miami Dolphins will reportedly add another to the pool by releasing two-time Pro Bowler Branden Albert.
The 32-year-old Albert signed a five-year, $47 million deal with the Dolphins in 2014, but his three-year career in Miami was marred by injuries and a decline in play, including a 2016 season when he ranked 65th out of 78 tackles graded by Pro Football Focus. But just one year removed from a Pro Bowl berth following the 2015 season, Albert could be an intriguing target for the tackle-needy Seattle Seahawks.
