DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins released linebacker Kyle Van Noy Wednesday just one year into his four-year, $51 million contract signed last March. The team tried to trade him over the last week but was unsuccessful and decided to move on.
Van Noy was set to make $12.5 million in 2021 -- a number that would have been fully guaranteed if he was still on the roster next week -- and with the NFL salary cap decreasing 8% to $182.5 million this year they no longer deemed him worthy of that salary.
The Dolphins will save $9.
