Joey Porter was a headache not worth keeping even before he went on his media tour disparaging the Dolphins organization. On Friday, the Dolphins finally released the linebacker, according to Fox’s Jay Glazer. The Dolphins have confirmed the move.
Porter should be careful what he wishes for. He was due $4.6 million in 2010, and we’d bet a free year’s subscription to PFT that he doesn’t make that much money now.
Porter’s act on the way out in Miami won’t help his case. He acted like a high schooler that knew he was getting dumped by his girlfriend, so he started talking trash about her to all his friends. He was a goner regardless.
His production was very up-and-down in his three Dolphins seasons, but Porter is only a year removed from a monster season. He’ll have to convince interested teams that he’s willing to come off the field occasionally, which did not sit well with him in Miami.
