Dolphins Release Jerome Baker, Clearing Cap Space for Future Moves

The Miami Dolphins have parted ways with linebacker Jerome Baker, creating significant salary cap savings as they prepare for the upcoming season.

The Miami Dolphins released linebacker Jerome Baker, freeing up about $9.8 million in salary cap space.
Baker's departure follows a season marred by injuries, including an MCL sprain and a wrist surgery that sidelined him for the playoffs.
The Dolphins also released cornerback Keion Crossen, adding to the cap savings.

General Manager Chris Grier expressed a desire to retain Baker but emphasized the importance of the new defensive staff's evaluation.
