Contracts Dolphins Must Consider Cutting in 2023 Offseason
The Miami Dolphins will likely cut one of their highest-paid players in the offseason.
Cornerback Byron Jones did not feature at all in the 2022 campaign, and he should be on the way out before the 2023 season.
However, the Dolphins may have to play the waiting game with Jones because of how his deal affects the team's salary cap.
The Dolphins are able to save $14.8 million against the salary cap if they release Jones with a post-June 1 injury designation.
A potential Jones release may not help the Dolphins right away in free agency, but it should give them some relief later in the offseason.
