dont care if hes just a long snapper... get him in the ring of honor.. been a dolphin almost as long as Udonis has been a Heat player, never once complained, stayed professional and stayed consistently good at his job... he loved being a dolphin. So do whats right and honor him.

Is Flores under orders to make sure Miami gets that #1 pick? Because this is how you do it.

A terrible play call, terribly executed.

I completely agree- it makes zero sense to cut a 15-year long snapper after he won the camp battle. It's almost laughably ridiculous at this point.

Love the Denney, will miss him. A great teamate and solid human. Made a good amount of money perfecting a craft, cant ask more from a man. DOnt like that he was cut but I am sure there are reasons. God Speed Denney, never should have to buy a beer in Dade or Broward county.

I’m not into conspiracy theories, but man, this feels weird. Even Flores looked off when addressing it. This entire ordeal feels like Grier is pushing his weight around to secure a bountiful 2020 and ‘21. Why? Maybe because Miami wants to entice a big name coach and drop Flores after this year? I seriously do not feel like these moves are totally on Flores. Just a weird feeling I’m getting from all of this. Like a Hue Jackson move, but Flores gets one year instead of three.

In saying that, I could be WAY off.....

No matter what, he is paid for 5 years.

That was my thought when Flores was hired, dead man walking.

Fire the epitome of a blue collar lunch pail working mans man on Labor Day weekend. That's effed up. Even for the Dolphins. WTF is the point of this move? To save like 200k a year. Flipping stoopid.

All joking aside, I can get replacing Denney. He was getting up there in years, and he would have to be replaced eventually. But the timing is just... weird to me. Why so late in the game?

Where'd you get that from? I mean, I really hope it's true...I just didn't catch that in any of the stuff I read.

On a side note, what's the NFL retirement package look like for a 15-year veteran? I'm guessing it's fairly impressive and easily enough for him to live on the rest of his life.

Edit- I answered my own question. Retired players receive $5,640 per month for every year played in the NFL. So Denny gets $84,600 a month for life? That's a cool million plus per year!!!! ($1,015,200) He also gets an extra bonus for being a 10+ year vet but I can't find what that actually is.

His 1-year contract was for $1,030,000 plus a $90k signing bonus...so he's technically losing $15k a year by retiring (or actually profiting, depending on the 10+ year bonus size). Good for him...that makes me feel worlds better about all of this.

Oh, you meant for Flores....I thought you were talking about Denney. He's getting paid too though (see my edited post above).
