I know this one will deliver me a forum stoning death, but here goes...

 

Miami will likely be releasing Quinton Coples, scheduled to make nearly $8m.  He underperformed with the Jets, and was released following a team flight incident.  Some think he was a miscast in the Jet's 3-4, as he does not do well inside and stunk as a LB trying to drop into coverage.  The Dolphins picked him up off waivers at the end of November, and he basically sat the bench the remainder of the season.  The Dolphins, with their cap issues, are not going to pay him his $8m 5th year option that they inherited from the Jets.    

 

Coples is a 6'5 291 lb defensive end, that was a 1st round draft choice in 2012.  In 2014, his 3rd season with the Jets, he had 6.5 sacks and seemed to be trending up.  He's young at 25 with potential, if someone can get him motivated (bring in the Gus juice).  I would imagine he will be able to be signed pretty inexpensively, and would be a gamble with good upside to play behind Odrick.  Just a thought.
