Led the team in catches and yards in 2018
The Dolphins, embarking on a youth movement and rebuilding program, parted ways with their most experienced wide receiver on Friday, cutting Danny Amendola after just one season with the team.
Amendola, 33, led Miami in catches (59) and yards (575) this past season but the Dolphins want to get younger at the position and have said they’re willing to sustain short-term pain this season with an eye toward bolstering their team longterm.

Nerdy Football Analysis: The Dolphins will save $6 million against the cap with this move. Miami is also expected to release DeVante Parker by next Wednesday which would free up another $9 million. Miami is pressing the reset button on their personnel as they look to rebuild their roster through the draft. Albert Wilson, Jakeem Grant, Kenny Stills, Brice Butler, Leonte Carroo and Isaiah Ford are the current receivers under contract in Miami.
