The Miami Dolphins<\/a> are reportedly making their first significant cut of the offseason.<\/p>\n

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz<\/a>, the Dolphins are cutting veteran edge rusher Bradley Chubb after four seasons with the team.<\/p>\n

“Sources: The Dolphins and two-time Pro Bowl pass-rusher Bradley Chubb are parting ways, making the 29-year-old a free agent,” Schultz reported.<\/p>\n

Chubb bounced back in a big way from his torn ACL, with the 29-year-old posting 8.5 sacks while playing in all 17 games. It was the first time in his career that he didn’t miss a single game.<\/p>\n

Why Dolphins are cutting Bradley Chubb<\/p>\n

With a new general manager and head coach, the Dolphins are hitting the reset button, and a soon-to-be 30-year-old with a huge cap number and lengthy injury history doesn’t fit into those plans.<\/p>\n

It is at least a bit odd that the Dolphins didn’t take more time to try and find a trade partner for Chubb, but cutting him will open up some cap space.<\/p>\n

If it’s a pre-June 1 move, Miami will incur $23.8 million in dead money while saving $7.3 million.<\/p>\n

A post-June 1 cut would have lowered that dead money by nearly $13 million while saving Miami $20.2 million, but taking the bigger hit now ensures Miami saves more money down the road.<\/p>\n

With the Dolphins not really needing cap space this offseason with the team in the midst of a rebuild, it makes sense to just rip the band-aid off completely now.<\/p>\n
