NFL: Dolphins to release Ndamukong Suh
By Associated Press
The Miami Dolphins plan to release defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh before the start of free agency, according to Monday reports confirmed by the Miami Herald.
The Dolphins plan to cut him Wednesday, which would free up $17 million in salary cap space. Suh’s time in Miami seems to be over just three years after the Dolphins made him the highest-paid defensive player in league history. He’s halfway through a six-year, $114-million contract.
For that investment, he gave them 181 tackles, 151/2 sacks, one Pro Bowl appearance, one winning season but no playoff wins.
Miami agreed to trade Pro Bowl receiver Jarvis Landry to the Cleveland Browns last week. The Dolphins also released veteran linebacker Lawrence Tim-mons on Monday.
