So we knew Brandon Albert's cut,I'm happy about this...
The team is releasing starting left tackle Branden Albert, defensive end Mario Williams, defensive tackle Earl Mitchell and cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu.

from Miami Herald Blog.http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article133096369.html

While I kinda think the Alberts kinda half expected,not too surprising,Mitchell I'm a touch to the surprised side.

Yeah, the Mitchell cut was the only surprise. Nice that they will save $4M of his approximate $4.6 for the coming season.  But I don't feel very comfortable with the idea of Jordan Phillips starting next to Suh.  With all of the athleticism that Phillips has, he has been inconsistent and possible even been an under performer.

Tweets are coming in they haven't cut him today, they might try to trade him...
@gunnerhal: OK, here's the deal: Branden Albert isn't being released, at least not yet. Appears a team might want to trade, so Dolphins holding off.

@apoupartFins: .@MiamiDolphins did NOT release Branden Albert Thursday. They did let go of DE Mario Williams, DT Earl Mitchell and CB Ifo Ekpre-Olomu.

Why the surprise about Mitchell? I think he was mentioned in most articles discussing salary cap cuts for next year. The thing that surprises me, Misi isn't on the list.

Mitchell is small and gets pushed around. The run defense sucks and has for a few years. Guys not named Suh who are part of the run defense failure will be run out of town.

On Mitchell, I'm not like OMG holy shit...But mildly surprised,as I did see him as a possible cap casualty.Read Barry Jackson's tweet,and saw the article about Mitchell had "internal support" obviously it wasn't enough. It made me raise my eyebrows....as in ok...

I do agree with Misi...
