Miami Dolphins cut defensive tackle over disagreements
The Miami Dolphins have cut Jordan Phillips, per a league source, ending four seasons in which the supremely talented but inconsistent defensive tackle frustrated coaches — and vice versa.
Phillips, a second-round draft pick in 2015, was cut following a game in which his playing time was limited to 25 snaps.
That was eye-opening, considering Phillips was considered a starter when training camp opened in July and it happened during a game in which the New England Patriots ran the ball seemingly at will against the Dolphins during their 38-7 beating of Miami.
Phillips played only 25 plays against the Patriots. That was the fewest of any of Miami’s defensive tackles.
