Report: Dolphins releasing veteran S Bobby McCain
Field Level Media
The Miami Dolphins are releasing veteran safety Bobby McCain, multiple outlets reported Thursday.
Parting ways with the 27-year-old captain clears $5.66 million in cap space, per the reports.
McCain played in all 16 games (15 starts) for the Dolphins in 2020 and posted 46 tackles, five passes defensed and one interception.
A fifth-round draft pick in 2015, McCain registered 254 tackles, seven interceptions and four sacks in 87 games (55 starts) with Miami.
The Dolphins drafted Oregon safety Jevon Holland in the second round (36th overall) last week. Field Level Media
Spare Jordan
It’s been a rough and difficult year for Cardinals’ MIKE LB Jordan Hicks.
In 2019, at the behest of ILB coach Billy Davis who coached Jordan Hicks in Philly when Hicks was a rookie, the Cardinals signed the former Eagle to (per Sportrac.com): a 4 year,

$20,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of
$8,500,000.
2015 PHI 446 snaps PFF grade: 80.9
2016 PHI 971 snaps PFF grade: 88.4
2017 PHI 268 snaps PFF grade: 64.3
2018 PHI 705 snaps PFF grade: 75.1
The Cardinals gambled on Jordan Hicks being able to stay healthy and highly effective in stopping the run and defending the pass. The staying healthy part of the gamble has paid off, as Hicks has started all 32 games during his two year tenure. However, the playing highly effective playing part of the gamble has not come to the kind of fruition that Hicks, Billy Davis and the Arizona Cardinals had hoped.
Dolphins Are Improved, But Still Chasing The Bills

From the eighteenth selection on, Chris Grier and Co. did a great job of matching available players to positions of need without reaching for guys or falling in love with workout numbers. Jaelan Phillips was just a fantastic pick; if not for the injuries, he might have gone in the top five, ala Chase Young a year ago. That’s not to say he’ll be as good as Young, or even that his collegiate numbers were anywhere near what Young put up, but they’re similar players. Pass rushers that are drafted high are a lot like quarterbacks drafted high in most cases you’re either going to win big or lose big. I want to t
