Manning’s return will coincide with the end of Chris Clemons’s short tenure with the team. Smith reports Clemons will be cut as the team shapes their roster before the first game of the regular season. Clemons was a member of the Dolphins before heading to Houston and his old team might have some interest in a return with Reshad Jones suspended for the first four games of the year.
Smith reports that wide receiver Mike Thomas is also out. The addition of Damaris Johnson via waivers likely eliminated the need for Thomas on the Houston roster

Bring in Clemmons, will use him for special teams and help with Jones out for 4 weeks.

They aren't going to bring him in, at least not right now.. he's vested they'd have to pay him his entire salary. Wouldn't be surprised to see him after week one if still out there. I'm guessing that's why we got rid of Damian Williams as well.

Ya I'm hoping they're in talks with him (although I wouldn't blame him if he went somewhere else instead of Miami).

If $ doesn't get in the way it would be nice to have him around, at least til Rashad is back.

brandian ross might have a very short dolphins tenure, if there is interest
-
Be nice to have him at least for the four games. What would he cost us? I think we are in pretty decent shape financially?

Dont let money stop us from getting a guy at a position of need who knows the system. Delmas also has a history of being battered up from time to time and it could be nice to have a rotational player to lower his snap count.

Isn't there a mandatory amount of time a player has to stay on a team's 53 following a claim?

I suspect there is more to the issue of cutting Clemons than meets the eye.
Maybe not, but when the fastest safety in the NFL who has been getting positive marks the last couple years gets cut; you have to wonder.
His two year 2.7 mil contract is tiny relative to other NFL contracts for guys who were expected to start.
IMO, he is light years beyond Jimmy Wilson in ability, but if there is something else going on, then.....Hiruma78 likes this. -
He never had any significant issues w/ us did he?
