Reshad Jones may have played his last game as a Dolphin last week

Reshad Jones and Bobby McCain will finish the 2019 Season on Injured Reserve. This wasn’t a season to remember for either player.

McCain and Jones join Xavien Howard on I.R. constituting a massive $34 million dollars of the Dolphins 2019 Cap. That’s 20% of the salary Cap generating zero impact on the season going forward!

All three players have been limited by injury since Preseason. While the defense won’t take a hit by their absence because they have been mostly out of the lineup, this wasn’t the expectation for this season.

Miami’s best secondary players have been nonfactors in 2019

Howard will be back in 2020 but given the long history of his bad knee, it’s fair to wonder if he’ll ever be healthy. McCain has an injury clause in his contract that guarantees a good portion of his salary next year, so he’ll be back as well. But, given his lack of size and poor tackling the safety position isn’t McCain’s strong suit, so the question is where will he fit in?

McCain not successfully transitioning to safety adds extra distaste for the trade of Minkah Fitzpatrick. Now the trade feels even tougher to swallow than a two-dollar steak.

What if we just flip-flopped the players to their proper positions?

Then there is Reshad Jones who is another matter altogether. He doesn’t fit in at all next year and has a $15 million-dollar sticker tag if he’s on the roster. He won’t be on the Dolphins Week 1 roster in 2020 that’s for sure. As I said in Training Camp, this year or the next Reshad Jones is moving on. You can bet with the best pay per head sites like www.AcePerHead.com that Jones has played his last game for the Miami Dolphins last week.

Even if you dislike Jones’ for benching himself in 2018, he’s been one of Miami best players

For a position so heavily invested in over the last few years, it’s hard to believe that that the cupboard at safety is so bare. Gone: Fitzpatrick & McDonald. Unsuccessful: McCain. Soon to be gone: Jones. It seems Rowe, Wiltz, Parker and some rookies will be the new crew at Safety in South Florida next year.

Let’s hope they get a better hit ratio this time around.

As much as I disliked Jones for quitting in the Jets game in 2018, it’s hard not to tip your hat for all the good moments he has provided over the years. He certainly was one of Miami’s brightest spots over a terrible stretch. It seems like just yesterday he was having one the best season’s a safety has ever had in the NFL. And now his career is over… at least in Miami.

My how the decades roll by.

Well, this season is certainly a new beginning on every front. Let’s hope this new chapter is not only full of new faces but good times too. Go Phins!!!
