One Dolphins source told the Miami Herald that WLB Philip Wheeler became "complacent" after ex-GM Jeff Ireland signed him to a five-year, $26 million contract.

In other words, he mailed it in after getting paid. Ireland also happened to guarantee the entirety of Wheeler's $5 million salary for 2014, making him very difficult to cut just one year into the deal. Wheeler was a missed tackle machine in 2013, and was regularly attacked successfully in pass coverage.

Buddy of mine at work (huge Dolphins fan), just told me that he was horrible there and they cut him, went to Oakland and killed it and made pro bowl that year then Dolphins signed him to a big money 5yr contract and he stunk it up so bad that they benched him and then finally released him where he went to SF and then they cut him as well.

Hope he's got something left in the tank, at 30 yrs. old. But at least he has the size (6'4", 245) to (hopefully) cover the big tight ends we have to play! Seems like he's been hot & cold with the different teams he's been with. But, I think Quinn can get him coached/fired up, to where he'll be a contributor on our defense, at some point, otherwise I don't think he would've signed him ---

in all honesty cutting hawley was stupid considering how bad Stone played

but it was DOLLARS that made that choice really. Couldn't pay joe 3+ million to sit on the bench and hang around 'just in case'. The snapping problems Stone's had this year, weren't that much of an issue last year honestly. Did trying him at LG really mess him up THAT bad?

but in all seriousness, Worrilow isn't going anywhere because they signed an old slow used to be good but got paid and got lazy has been linebacker
