Dolphins to cut 2-time Pro Bowl safety Jones

The Miami Dolphins are releasing two-time Pro Bowl safety Reshad Jones.

The move, which will become official March 18, frees up $5.3 million against the Dolphins’ salary cap. With Jones’ salary off the books, Miami has around $90 million in cap space, tops in the league.

?”We want to thank Reshad for everything he has done for the Miami Dolphins,” general manager Chris Grier said in a statement. “I have known Reshad since spending time with him at Georgia and have been impressed with everything he’s been able to accomplish. We wish him the best moving forward.”

Jones, who turned 32 in February, established himself as one of the Dolphins’ core players for the past decade. He was the team’s longest-tenured player after being selected in the fifth round of the 2010 NFL draft.
