Dolphins claim one of NFL's leading tacklers before reunion with Bills was possible

Quote

Another potential Buffalo Bills reunion was foiled by a division rival.

Former Buffalo linebacker Tyrel Dodson was snatched up on waivers by the Miami Dolphins before he could reach the Bills on Tuesday.

Can a player refuse a team when a claim is put in so that he can sign with another team?


They can’t  really “refuse”, but they can not report and force the team to cut or put them on a did not report list - which may get your wish for a release.  It has happened a limited number of times in the past.

 

It just would not happen with Dodson because the claiming means he gets the rest of his 4.6 million dollar contract - rather than signing for vet minimum or a PS position to help Buffalo.  In the end - you report and if things are not great - the agent can make it known he wants released as there are usually a handful of veterans released the last few weeks of the season.

 

He is an interesting fit with Miami as he will help the around the LOS game, but where the Dolphins are terrible is pass coverage and he is not that kind of LB.

I mean they are kind of terrible in every way at linebacker.... but yea more terribly terrible in coverage.

I read an article on the ESPN hype machine.com and the guy with scrambled eggs for brains was quoted saying that after last night’s game they turned a corner and are back. I mean, for sure, after all they did beat a mediocre to poor Rams team.

I'll say this though. If we could get the 2 seed and the Dolphins sneak in as the 7 seed, I certainly won't be upset about that.

lol yeah 

I thought Dodson was really good last year but he's definitely behind Milano and now Williams,  would've liked the addition if we didn't have Williams with Milano coming back..

 

With his cap hit, just didn't seem wise

He'd be on the bench unless injury

He would have been for sure thats why I said if you went down and LB. But point is moot apparently the Dolphins claimed him.

This reminds me of Terrell Suggs after he got waived by Arizona and stated he'd only play for Ravens, instead he got claimed by the Chiefs and ended his career with a Super Bowl ring.

This happened with the Bills in 2017 or 2018, I think? They claimed WR/KR Dri Archer from the Steelers and the dude just never showed up. I think he just straight up quit football lol.
