Many Dolphins fearing call from 954 area code as roster cuts loom

It’s high anxiety time for Dolphins players on the bubble, the time in which any telephone call with a 954 area code, the one that belongs to the Dolphins’ headquarters in Davie, is stress-inducing.

NFL rosters must be cut to 53 by 4 p.m. Saturday, meaning the Dolphins, whose roster is at 75, have to make 22 roster moves.

Usually, that call from the 954 area code isn’t to tell you that you made the team, it’s to tell you that you’re cut.

Quarterback Brandon Doughty, the seventh-round pick from Western Kentucky who attended North Broward Prep, knows how he’ll pass the time.
