The Miami Dolphins have started the process of releasing players adding offensive lineman Sam Young to the unemployment line.

The move leaves the Dolphins with Ulrick John who was battling with Young for a roster spot. It’s unclear though if this means John will make the team. Miami will likely carry 9 or 10 offensive lineman into the season.

The release of Young is the first of the Dolphins 22 releases that will come before 4:00 p.m. EST today.

Young was listed as a tackle on the Dolphins roster. Miami still has Laremy Tunsil, Branden Albert, Ja’Wuan James, and John listed as tackles.

In other NFL non-related, kind of related non-Dolphins news, confused yet? Former Miami Dolphins general manager Rick Speilman made a blockbuster move today when he sent the Vikings 2017 1st round pick and a 4th round pick to the Eagles for QB Sam Bradford.

Bradford will replace Teddy Bridgewater who tore his ACL in practice this week. Speilman has now traded a 1st for Bradford and a 2nd round pick in 2004 to the Eagles for A.J. Feeley. And we all know how that worked out.
