Joey Porter
The Miami Dolphins released linebacker Joey Porter on Friday. Porter had been on a media tirade against the team prior to his dismissal. It looks like the Dolphins had enough.
Porter would have earned $4.6 million next season and it’s doubtful that he’ll see that type of money on his next stop.
He has previously stated that he would like to play for either the San Diego Chargers, San Francisco 49ers or Arizona Cardinals in 2010.
No word yet on whether any of those squads are interested. Although he would be an interesting fit on Mike Singletary’s squad in San Fran.
UPDATE (March 16): Porter will visit the Washington Redskins in hopes of driving up the price for other teams. Although cautious in free agency spending thus far, money is never an issue for the Daniel Snyder owned franchise.
Update (Feb. 12): According to ESPN.com, Porter is still a Dolphin. This is due to the rules of the uncapped year.
“NFL rules prohibited the Dolphins from releasing Porter at this time when his salary-cap acceleration exceeded the space that the team had, according to an NFL source. Now, after thinking he had his freedom, Porter does not. He is still a Dolphin — and is likely to remain so until at least next month, when the league’s new year starts March 5.” from ESPN.com.
So it looks Porter is a Dolphin for a few more days and this may be the first of many rules that pop up with the NFL going uncapped in 2010.
WOW THE FATHER OF THE YEAR GETS A DUI !! HARD TO BELIEVE HUH NADIA???? WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THAT COMING?? WHAT IF HE WOULD HAVE KILLED A FAMILY YOU STUPID BITCH?
hey nadia ,are you one of his hos lmao porters always been a thug !!!!
Hal, you don’t even know Joey! Joey has survived the hard streets. He is an outstanding husband, brother, cousin, and friend. He is loyal and genuine. He is someone who wants the best for everyone especially his family. But all you fans see if the NFL Joey, that is not the real Joey Porter. If he appeared to be a softy then he couldn’t do his job. I want the best for Joey.The NFL is that the NFL. Joey probably already has an exit strategy.
Please note: We probably want to stay on the West( 49ers, Chargers, and Cardinals) so he can be close to family. This is what real men, real fathers do.
SO in other word HAL, SHUT YOUR FACE!!!!
He wants to stay in a warm climate, a sign he is old and worn out, when no warm climate team offers him a position he will have to settle for another climate like Pittsburgh but he will play like an old linebacker. Time to retire Joey?
hes a thug thats past his prime his next press release will be an obit
Hey if he wants to play by The Bay & join one heckuva linebacking crew, come on back to California Joey.
