Dolphins make a change at punter

The Dolphins have moved to the 75-man roster limit by parting ways with longtime punter Brandon Fields.

Fields has been released after an eight-year run with the team that featured a Pro Bowl appearance after the 2013 season. Fields took a pay cut this offseason to lessen a scheduled cap hit north of $3 million, but it wasn’t enough to allow him to keep his job with the team this season.

Matt Darr is the only punter currently on the Dolphins roster and will fill the role into the regular season if Miami doesn’t look for other options in the next week.
