There was little doubt that the Miami Dolphins would move on from kicker Jason Sanders this offseason. Even if Chris Grier was retained along with Mike McDaniel, the longest tenured Miami draft pick was all but gone.
It is being reported that the Dolphins are releasing Sanders, which will give the team nearly $4 million in cap space. Space needed to pay for his replacement. Miami will take on $663,000 in dead cap space. According to reports, the Dolphins tried to restructure the kicker's contract, but an agreement could not be reached.
His release brings an end to the 2018 draft class, sort of.
