The Miami Dolphins waived defensive end Taco Charlton Thursday.
Charlton, a 2017 first-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys, was claimed by the Dolphins last September after being cut by his former team. He made some splash plays in Miami including a team-high five sacks, but he didn't show much consistency. He also didn't fit what Brian Flores wants in his players as the Dolphins coach continues to mold the team.
The writing was on the wall for Charlton when he was a healthy inactive for the Dolphins last two games and three of their final four games of the 2019 season.
