Dolphins releasing Byron Jones, who missed 2022 season after failed rehab, for cap relief

Byron Jones’ time with the Miami Dolphins will soon to be over.

The Dolphins plan to release the cornerback who was once a prized acquisition in 2020 with free agency beginning next week, according to a league source.

Jones, who missed the 2022 season, will be designated as a post-June 1 cut, which provides the Dolphins with $13.6 million in 2023 salary cap relief. The savings will not be available to the team until June, so it can’t be used during March’s initial wave of free agency.
