More changes coming in Miami: Dolphins center Mike Pouncey has requested his released and Miami is expected to grant it today, per source. Moving on from Pouncey, Ndamukong Suh, Jarvis Landry. Mike Pouncey has requested his release.per Shefter Joe Schad on reasons why https://twitter.com/schadjoe/status/974316055807057920 (https://twitter.com/schadjoe/status/974316055807057920) https://twitter.com/schadjoe/status/974316369188741121 (https://twitter.com/schadjoe/status/974316369188741121) Mike Pouncey just clarified for me. He wants a release because the team did not want to do a longer-team deal. "I know my career isn’t over," Pouncey said. Mike Pouncey declined to take a pay cut. "I gave this city everything I had," Pouncey told me. "I’m heartbroken." #MiamiDolphins Title: Re: Pouncey wants out,expected to be released Post by: CF DolFan on March 15, 2018, 12:28:54 pm Several writers have tweeted that. See you Pouncey. Thanks for the memories.

If not for the injuries, I think Pouncey would have been talked about in the same conversations as Dwight Stephenson and Jim Langer. Guy sucked it up and still played pretty damn well even with significant injuries. This team is going to suck really bad for a really long time before it ever becomes playoff relevant again. It is difficult to watch.

Because signing him just became more important. Tannehill might ask to be released too, just because he wants to actually live through the season without getting killed on the field.

Title: Re: Pouncey wants out,expected to be released Post by: masterfins on March 15, 2018, 02:06:30 pm I'm fine with Pouncey leaving, he's not worth the money he is being paid; and it's one less worry of when he will get injured and for how long.
Title: Re: Pouncey wants out,expected to be released Post by: EDGECRUSHER on March 15, 2018, 08:23:44 pm He played hard but of course the team didn't want a long term deal. He misses games constantly and will only miss more in the future.
Title: Re: Pouncey wants out,expected to be released Post by: Downunder Dolphan on March 20, 2018, 06:48:10 am I have mixed emotions about Pouncey going, but I am okay with it in the sceme of things.
He undoubtedly has enormous talent, and yet will always seem to be caught in the shadow of his brother. Recent injuries haven't exactly helped his stock in regard to on field results. He will never be the sort of leader the Dolphins need to negotiate their way out of this self inflicted hell; in the past he's been all too willing to blindly follow destructive characters like Hernandez & Incognito, last year he did not step up to fill an obvious void. Now he sulks about not being offered a long term/big enough contract and wants out? Okay mate, you can go. We may miss you, but good luck anyway, and enjoy your paycheck...

The Dolphins wanted him to take a pay cut, so it's hard to determine whether or not he would have made more money if he stayed with Miami. |
