HOUSE Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) MIAMI DOLPHINS Is a former Bills linebacker on the roster bubble in Miami? It appears that may be the case for Kiko Alonso. Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald noted that Alonso’s roster spot is not safe with roster cuts upcoming. Here is what Jackson said in regards to Alonso. Sam Eguavoen’s emergence and Jerome Baker’s evolution — and the fact Miami is expected to play three linebackers less than half the time — have left Kiko Alonso and Raekwon McMillan in a tenuous position. McMillan obviously is not going to be released, but his playing time likely will be impacted. Releasing Alonso would carry $8.2 million in dead money and just a $25,000 cap savings but would save Miami $4 million in cash, per overthecap.com. https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2019/08/new-england-patriots-releasing-p-ex-bills-current-miami-dolphins-lb-on-bubble-afc-east-roundup.html Edited August 20, 2019 by HOUSE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CLTbills Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I don't understand the point of cutting him. Would I love to see him leave the division so he can't take shots at our franchise QB? Absolutely. But I don't understand why they would do it. It saves them literally nothing against the cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team may want to start cutting the higher salaries and Kiko has been oft injures (per what I read) https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article234142607.html Among the positions where established Dolphins veterans are at risk: ▪ Receiver: Among Allen Hurns, Brice Butler and Isaiah Ford, there’s a decent chance one could stick as a sixth receiver. But it’s difficult to fathom more than one making the 53-man roster, barring injuries Releasing Alonso would carry $8.2 million in dead money and just a $25,000 cap savings but would save Miami $4 million in cash, per overthecap.com. But if Miami can trade Alonso, there would be $1.3 million in dead money and $7 million in cap savings. Finding a trade partner might be difficult, though, because the team acquiring him would be responsible for the entire $6.5 million base salary, including the $2.5 million guaranteed in March. Alonso and McMillan remained out Monday with undisclosed injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you know you're going to suck, and you're going to be re-building, take the cap hit in a year you're already going to suck anyway. That seemed to be the Brandon Beane method and it has worked out ok for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 $7 million in cap savings ... ??

Joking aside I think you're right that Kiko is going to be targeted because of their loss of Avery Williamson... so to me this is a slam dunk for them to got out and get a guy with ILB & MLB experience who knows the division and plays with edge. Also Gase connection shouldn't be discounted... 14 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: Especially with Gase there looks like I'm behind your on the curve here!

JaCrispy Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Good! I want him out of the AFC east because I feel he would stop at nothing to try to concuss Josh Allen, for embarrassing him last season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) A good friend of mine is a Dolphins fan here at work. He hates Alonso. He says it was one of the biggest wastes of money his team made in recent years. He said aside from the fact he's a dirty player who does dumb things on the field, he is always out of position or a step late getting somewhere. His speed allows him to make tackles, but he should have made them 4 or 5 yards sooner if he would have been in the place he was supposed to be. Sounds like "The Legend of Kiko Alonso" was always just a myth. Edited August 20, 2019 by H2o 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
