Dolphins Cut Nate Orchard Yesterday

Brief write-up.

Kind of weird given how he wound up there last spring and given that he’d made it past the roster cutdown day over the weekend. Hopefully, he’ll land somewhere soon.

Crazy. Does Nate not play special teams? Is he terrible in run defense? There has to be a glaring hole somewhere, because he has an NFL talent.

Seems to me that the coach’s quotes from the article allude to negative aspects of his game, one of which is explicitly mentioned. IIRC the article quotes the coach as saying something along the lines of Orchard having difficulty staying focused.

Bummer.

The Dolphins are trying their best to tank this season and lose veteran contracts.  I know they like Tua a lot but I think tanking for him at the expense of a pointless season will allienate most of their decent players.
