Overview

• Special teams coordinator Craig Aukerman announced Tuesday that Bailey won the competition and Miami waived Stonehouse.
• Bailey’s camp performance, including trusted work as Jason Sanders’ holder and kickoff ability, was cited as the better fit.
• In two preseason games, Bailey averaged 56.0 yards per punt with a 53.0 net and two inside the 20, while Stonehouse averaged 43.3 yards with a 40.3 net and one inside the 20.
• The Dolphins also signed cornerback Cameron Dantzler, waived wide receiver Tarik Black and placed offensive lineman Yodny Cajuste on injured reserve.
• Cutting Stonehouse carries about $75,000 in dead money for Miami, whereas Bailey remains on a two-year, $4.2 million contract that would have been costlier to terminate.
