    Though Dolphins linebacker Philip Wheeler’s cap hit is similar whether he’s on the team next season or not ($4.4 million to $4.2 million), that won’t necessarily save him.

    After Jeff Ireland signed Wheeler, new Dolphins executive Mike Tannenbaum –-- then an NFL Network pundit --- criticized the move, calling Wheeler a journeyman and saying he would have used that money to keep Sean Smith, who signed with Kansas City and was rated the fifth-best cornerback in football in 2014, according to Pro Football Focus.

    Wheeler said his criticism of coaching strategy on Green Bay’s game-winning touchdown “could be” why his playing time diminished a lot after that.

    “I would think I could help,” he said.

    Hopefully we cut bait with all three LBs in Wheeler, Ellerbe and the most overrated member of our defense in Koa Misi. We need to rebuild that unit AGAIN after Ireland blew it up and replaced Dansby/Burnett with worse players. Jenkins and McCain are the only LBs I'd like to have back next year. Everyone else should be on notice.

    I don't think Wheeler has been awful this year when they put him in the right role. There really isn't a lot of reason for Dion Jordan not to be in that position though
