It’s been expected the Dolphins would release defensive end Dion Jordan for some time now, but as the league year begins, the player remains on the team’s roster.

That doesn’t mean he’ll stay there, as the franchise still plans to cut Jordan some time before the beginning of the season, according to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald.

The former No. 3 overall selection missed all of the last two seasons because of injury and suspension, and has only started one game in his career. Salguero reports that Jordan weighs about 275 pounds and can’t run as well as he used to.

Not only is Jordan lacking explosion, but is apparently dealing with some sort of non-football issue that team officials declined to discuss.

Defensive line has been an area of focus for the Dolphins this offseason, with the team signing defensive ends Andre Branch and William Hayes, and adding Cameron Wake to a two-year extension.

Should Miami cut Jordan, they would recoup around $3 million in cap space.
