One name to watch this weekend: #Dolphins OLB Kiko Alonso, who requested a trade during camp, per sources. Miami starting over with new coach Brian Flores, and Alonso – who started all but two games over three seasons there – wants to move on.

DB Cornell Armstrong 

Shocker… Was just informed that the Dolphins are releasing my client Cornell Armstrong (CB, Southern Miss) who they drafted in the 6th round last year. Talented, developing player was one of their top special teamers last season. Don't expect him to be unemployed for long.

— Brett Tessler (@TesslerSports) August 31, 2019

DE Tank Carradine

— Barry Jackson (@flasportsbuzz) August 31, 2019

SAF Maurice Smith and OL Tony Adams

Dolphins cut veteran safety Maurice Smith, according to a league source. Smith is an excellent backup on defense and a core special-teams contributor. High-character guy and should be popular on waivers

— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) August 31, 2019

Among the Dolphins players cut today: guard Tony Adams. Still a logjam on the interior line, however, after yesterday's trades.

— Adam Beasley (@AdamHBeasley) August 31, 2019
