Miami Dolphins release CB Benny Sapp

Sep. 13 News and Notes 5 comments ---Bill

In a surprising move, the Miami Dolphins released Cornerback Benny Sapp earlier today. Sapp was burned more than a few times in the Dolphins loss Monday Night to the Patriots.

The move is surprising for a few reasons; First, the Dolphins secondary looked terrible Monday Night and there hasn’t been any talk about who will take Sapp’s place in the Dolphins secondary.

Second, Sapp outplayed Will Allen in the preseason. He actually looked really good in the preseason for the Dolphins.

Third, Sapp was on the week one roster which means his $1.9 mil contract is guaranteed. So the Dolphins will be paying Sapp to sit at home. Heck, I could do that for $1.9 mil!

I’d expect to hear about the Dolphins plans to replace Sapp by tomorrow. If I’m Will Allen, I’m waiting for the Dolphins to call and I’d probably try to milk every dime out of them….because they need him.

      People definitely want to hear about the Dolphins after a win…after a loss, we all try to forget, lol

    Ya Sapp gave up a 99 yrd td, but i would fire the conditioning coach, the whole D looked winded after the 2nd drive. Sapp was a good corner, not the best but he knew the D and made a few good plays thru last year and in preseason. If i recall…didnt Sapp blow up the wr screen that odrick picked off? Not a good move, Nolan looked like crap and Wilson maybe a hitter, but in preseason he looked very raw.

    Miami Dolphins needs an offensive minded head coach and a Quarterback. The Indianapolis Colt hired Tony Dungi after a very good offense for a longtime and the Colts won the Superbowl in 2006. As long as Tony Sporana and Chad Hennin are joined at the hip, Dolphine fans will continue to suffer.
    I hope this will be the last season for both individuals. Jon Gruden and Vince Young will be very attractive alternatives.

      so victor….considering miami had 500 yrds of total O and Henne tossed for 400+ yrd and 2 td’s minus a hailmary int in the closing seconds…ya your right….Henne and Tony lost this game for us. I must of been watching the wrong game becuase the one i watched the D and mike nolan failed.
