The rebuild is underway as the Miami Dolphins released several players yesterday. New general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan woke up and decided it was a great day to work towards becoming cap compliant. The two biggest names released was edge rusher Bradley Chubb and wide receiver Tyreek Hill. Hill was not expected back next season but there was some hope for Chubb to return on a restructured deal. However, that wasn\u2019t the case and both will be looking for new teams. The other players released were guard James Daniels and receiver Nick Westbrook-Ikhine. Let the rebuild begin!<\/p>\n
