Catch and Release: Dolphins part ways with Kyle Van Noy

The Miami Dolphins have been quiet all offseason, making splashes when fans least expect it. The surprising news out of Dolphin camp today is the release of Kyle Van Noy.

Last offseason the Dolphins signed Van Noy to a four-year $50million+ deal. He spent some of the season playing with a hurt hip, but nonetheless produced down the stretch for the Dolphins defense. Van Noy was a leader on the field in 2020, which makes the release puzzling.

Releasing Van Noy frees up $9million in cap space, which makes you think the Dolphins have their eyes on a bigger free-agent fish. Lavonte David, perhaps?

If not David, could it be to free up space for someone else’s $15million cap hit in 2021? Cough, cough, Deshaun Watson. This is a LB heavy draft.

Trust the process. Trust in Tua.
