Dolphins Make Roster Moves


It's about that time in the preseason when coaches start making cuts, trimming the "fat" from their roster. The Dolphins were very active this week, so lets take a look at some of the moves they made.

The Dolphins traded offensive lineman Ikechucku Ndukwe and Andy Alleman to the Kansas City Chiefs for an undisclosed 2010 draft pick.

Rookie Chris Williams was waived because of a broken hand, and after there was talk about an injury settlement between the two parties. He has likely seen his last days in a Dolphins uniform.

WR/TE Ernest Wilford had his contract terminated.

I like to see that the Dolphins are getting a draft pick for two lineman that would not likely have cracked the starting lineup anyways. The more draft picks the better, especially when you have Bill Parcells in the front office. Its too bad that Williams career as a Dolphin is likely over, I thought he showed tremendous burst and agility in the first game. Hate to see an injury ruin that. The Ernest Wilford experiment is finally over! After not making in impact at receiver, he worked out as a tight end over the summer. The former Jacksonville Jaguar is a big target, but has not showed enough improvement at both WR and TE. No reason to keep him with the depth they have at those positions. I am very glad the Dolphins cut ties with Wilford and his contract.
