Quinton Coples – defensive end
2016 salary – $7.7 million
Coples played six games for the Dolphins in 2015 after being released by the New York Jets. He registered no sacks, no fumbles, no tackles, and no assists. Yet he actually played well for the team. Coples did his job. He held the edge against the run, where he posted a 73 grade on ProfootballFocus.com and forced runners back inside. Against the pass coples rated 70.3 but he was the back-up to Derrick Shelby at this point.
It’s already rumored that Coples will be released prior to the start of the 2016 league new year.
