"It is done. The Miami Dolphins’ long, public standoff with veteran safety Reshad Jones has finally come to a head, with news breaking this afternoon that the Dolphins have released their long-time presence on the back end. Jones, who was tied to trade rumors throughout the entire 2019 offseason, played in just 4 games and a total of 190 snaps this past season — which will mark an unceremonious ending to an accomplished career in South Florida."

Curious how much cap space will this save the team?

Yeah, 5.3 is what all of the sites have said. We're now up to 93.5m in cap space.
We could quickly gain another 9.5m by cutting Albert Wilson. And remember that we don't have to spend that all, or right away, so cutting Wilson now could bring us more cap space in 2021. -

I think Wilson was starting to show that he was getting healthier towards the end of the season. We often seem to forget the difference between being fit and match fit with the time it takes for some players to fully trust their bodies again and get back to their top levels. I'd keep Wilson around for the year and if his body lets him and us down again then let him go next year.
As for Jones, I think this news has been expected since fairly early on into last season so not much of a shock.KeyFin likes this. -

Btw, gutted that Jones has gone - great player but high salary, injury history and sometime questionable attitude made this inevitable.

Personally, I couldnt be happier that piece of trash is gone.
Anyone who gives up on their team, whether you're in the NFL, a doctor, a construction worker...that person is trash. -
As I said, questionable attitude (in the last year of Gase's head coaching), injuries and stupid salary (thanks Tannebaum) make him a bad player in peoples' eyes but that is not true. Doesn't make him 'a piece of trash' though, although I am aware that you tend to make these accusations.
