The Miami Dolphins are releasing two-time Pro Bowl safety Reshad Jones on Wednesday, according to a source. The move will become official on the start of the new league year on March 18, and Jones' release will free up $5.3 million against the team's salary cap. Miami will focus heavily on replenishing their secondary in free agency, and they'll have over $90 million available in cap space to do so. Jones had five interceptions and three touchdowns from 2017-18, but he was hurt by injuries last year and ended the year on Injured Reserve after playing in just four games. The 32-year-old could still be productive in the right situation.
Miami Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said safety Reshad Jones will remain with the team and said that Jones also does not want to be traded. Jones isn't with the team during voluntary workouts this week, but it sounds like the Dolphins have him in their plans for 2019. The 31-year-old had 72 tackles and three interceptions (one touchdown) in 14 games for the Dolphins in 2018.
Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores said that safety Reshad Jones isn't present at the team's voluntary camp this week. The 31-year-old had a down year in 2018 with 72 tackles and three interceptions (one touchdown) and has been the subject of trade rumors this offseason. He was present for the start of the team's offseason program a few weeks ago, but he has chosen to work out on his own moving forward.
Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones, who is scheduled to be the team's highest-paid player in 2019, is attending the team's voluntary offseason program this week, according to a source. Jones is a possible trade target after June 1. The 31-year-old had 72 total tackles, three interceptions (one touchdown) and nine passes defensed in 14 games for the Dolphins last season. He has three seasons of 100-plus tackles and remains an intriguing IDP defensive back if he's healthy.
Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones, who will be 32 years old in 2020, will likely be cut next offseason if they cannot trade him. Miami can save up to $11.5 million in salary cap space next year by cutting or trading him, and they can save up to $13.1 million this year if they trade Jones after June 1. The former Pro Bowl safety might fetch a low-round draft pick and would help relieve the logjam at safety that includes Minkah Fitzpatrick and T.J. McDonald. Jones tied for second on the team in 2018 with three interceptions, one of which he returned for a score.
Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (shoulder) underwent surgery to fix a partially torn right labrum. Jones has now had surgery on his right labrum twice in the last three years and could be a question mark for training camp this summer. The soon-to-be 31-year-old played with the injury for most of last year, totaling 72 tackles and three interceptions (one touchdown) in 14 games. He's the heart and soul of the Miami secondary and is an option in IDP leagues when he's healthy.
Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday. Jones was inactive in Week 3 against the Raiders, but he has a chance to return against the division-rival Patriots this Sunday. Miami will need Jones back in action in order to slow down quarterback Tom Brady and the passing game with receiver Josh Gordon potentially making his team debut.
Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (shoulder) is inactive for Week 3 against the Raiders. That's bad news for the Dolphins secondary and good news for Oakland quarterback Derek Carr and their deep passing game. Make sure Jones is benched in IDP formats. Rookie running back Kalen Ballage, wide receiver Tanner McEvoy and quarterbacks David Fales and Luke Falk are healthy scratches. Ballage just doesn't have much of a role behind Kenyan Drake and Frank Gore right now.
Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (shoulder), who is questionable for Week 3 against the Raiders, is expected to play on Sunday. Jones is one of the more attractive IDP safeties in the league and has six tackles and two interceptions through two weeks. If he's on the field, it'll be a downgrade for Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and the deep passing game.
Miami Dolphins safety Reshad Jones (shoulder) is questionable to play in Week 3 against the Raiders. Jones is one of the better IDP safeties to employ on a weekly basis, but you might need to look for other options. If he sits out, it'll be an upgrade for Raiders quarterback Derek Carr and deep-threat receiver Martavis Bryant.
