Most pay per head fans have already heard that the Dolphins have released Brian Hartline and Brandon Gibson, however, I am very surprised by many people’s reactions. Scouring the internet blogs, a lot of Phins fans seem very displeased about the release of Brian Hartline, almost to the point that they are shocked that this happened.
If you have been reading our blog, this would not have come as a surprise since we have been saying that this was pretty much a guarantee to happen. At the end of the day, the NFL is a business and in strictly a business sense this makes tons of sense. Hartline was going to count over $3 million against next year’s salary cap, and for a player that was a third or even sometimes the fourth option in this offense, and who had only 39 receptions, 474 yards and 2 touchdowns, $3 million is not worth the production.
Don’t Get Me Wrong
Hartline did a great job for us in 2012 and 2013 having back to back 1,000-yard seasons and was Tannehill’s go-to guy, but last year he was an afterthought in the Dolphins offense, and Tannehill and the offense in statistical terms had a career year. Getting rid of Hartline is not really going to have an impact on next year’s offense. Yes, he may go to another team and have a very good year, however, the reality is that in Bill Lazor’s spread the ball around the field offense, does not fit as Hartline well. Not only that, Hartline always had issues scoring touchdowns. We need receivers that can get into the end-zone, and in Hartline’s 6 years with the team, his highest amount of touchdowns in a season was only 4. He had a total of 12 touchdowns in 6 years, which is an average of 2 touchdowns a year. Playoff teams are not paying their receivers over $3 million a year to score 2 touchdowns a year.

Hartline was a good teammate and even better guy, but this is the NFL and this is a business, and Hartline’s time on the team is now expectantly over. He served his purpose in previous years, and the Dolphins wisely decided to move on. There are plenty of free-agent wide receivers that are going to be available that are better than Hartline, and this upcoming draft is loaded with wide receiver talent that can easily become a cheaper and better option than Hartline. This was 100% the right move. What does the rest of Phins fans think?
