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.
