He knew that the Dolphins would cut him if they couldn't move him.


I do like the trade, but I doubt they were going to cut him. His cap hit this year was $7.4 mil, with $11.6 mil in dead money if they cut him.

Cutting him would have had the same cap ramifications as trading him. $2.8m accelerated, $4.2m total dead, saving them from his $8.4m base salary.
