Dolphins release LBs Porter, Ayodele

Football Betting Lines

03/05/2010 - Davie, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Miami Dolphins on Friday terminated the contracts of linebackers Akin Ayodele and Joey Porter along with safety Gibril Wilson.

Miami attempted to release Porter, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, back on February 12, but the NFL didn't allow the transaction to take place because it would have violated the salary cap.

Porter's release was finalized on Friday due to the fact that there is no cap in the league this year.

Porter inked a five-year deal with the Dolphins after the 2006 season, and in his three years in Miami, he compiled 32 sacks and 154 tackles in 46 games. The 32-year-old played in 14 games last season, logging 41 tackles and nine sacks but battled knee injuries through most of the year.

The Colorado State product spent the first eight years of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, with whom he recorded 498 tackles, 60 sacks and 10 interceptions. His sack total ranked fourth in team history at the time of his release.

His 92 sacks rank second on the active list behind Jason Taylor's 127 1/2.

Ayodele started in 15 games for the Dolphins last season, ranking third on the team in tackles with 70. Miami acquired the Purdue product from the Cowboys on April 26, 2008 in exchange for a '08 fourth-round draft pick.

In 128 career games with the Jaguars, Cowboys, and Dolphins, the 6-foot-2, 245-pounder has compiled 630 tackles, 9 1/2 sacks, and seven interceptions.

Wilson recorded 93 tackles and one sack in 16 games last season, his first in Miami.

Miami may be close to adding unrestricted free agent linebacker Karlos Dansby, who visited with the Dolphins Friday. The 28-year-old Dansby has spent his first six years in the league with the Cardinals.

The Auburn product has 437 tackles, 25.5 sacks, 12 forced fumbles, nine fumble recoveries and 10 interceptions in 90 career games.
