I would guess Ferguson is gone....can't stay healthy, he's old, and he's suspended for 8 games. The only argument to keep him would be "when he comes back," but I'm hoping that the defense in place is good enough that we won't need him back.

Huh? Ferguson isn't going anywhere. The resigned him AFTER he was already suspended.

That doesn't mean anything. That was before they hired Nolan. That was before the draft. That was before minicamp.

Also.. you should really do your research before you post. Dolphins hired Nolan LONG before they re-signed a SUSPENDED Jason Ferguson. He isn't going anywhere.

Whatever. If you want to think he's untouchable simply because he was resigned, go ahead.

That and he is the only proven NT on the roster and will only be active for 8 games. Why cut him?

I agree. He should come in fresh the second half of the season once everyone is worn down and can be a huge factor for this defense come playoff time.

What does that matter...He wont cost a roster spot until he returns

He's not gonna be cut anytime soon
