Is there any news on this from the Dolphins reporters? Is he in talks with them about coming back to the team? Or is a cut the most likely outcome here?

The only thing I've heard is that it reportedly took the Dolphins by surprise. Of course, the reason we signed him in the first place was Edge depth behind Bradley Chubb and Jaelan Phillips. Being that both of those players are currently hurt, I'm unsure why the Dolphins wouldn't at least try to take a wait-and-see approach since they already own the rights to his contract.

Player can always hold out.  It reminds me of how Schottenheimer claimed Deion Sanders years ago and kept his rights with the Chargers.

Shortly after Brandon Graham goes down and the Eagles are looking for a veteran pass rusher? 🤔

The thing is the Dolphins have a need for him at that position so they'd have to decide to cut him first. Then he'd have to clear waivers and make it to the Eagles at 29th in the waiver order. He could make it clear he only wants to play for a contender but the Dolphins could just retain his rights and not let him leave. Seems unlikely that he would end up in Philadelphia, at this time.
