Miami just dropped a bomb on their roster, announcing a staggering eight moves today that really shake things up. The biggest shocker for fans has to be the release of second-year wide receiver Theo Wease Jr.
The First Wave of Cuts
The team confirmed a few releases that were already floating around: cornerback Alex Austin, offensive lineman Kevin Cline, tight end Ethan Conner, and linebacker Stephen Dix Jr. were all let go. That’s a lot of talent hitting the market right there! It shows you nobody’s spot is truly safe.
Eight Players Are Out
But the cuts didn’t stop there. Miami also said goodbye to running back Coleman Bennett, edge Seth Coleman-Lyles, running back Donovan Edwards, defensive lineman Alex Huntley, safety Louis Moore, defensive lineman Cam Rice, and linebacker Jaheim Thomas. That’s a serious house-cleaning happening down in South Beach.
The Wease Jr. Problem
The name that really stands out in this group is Wease. He actually put up some solid numbers as an undrafted rookie in 2025, pulling in six passes for 139 yards and even scoring a touchdown. Who doesn’t love an undrafted guy making plays, right? But after Miami drafted three new wide receivers, it sounds like his chances of sticking around this year were always a longshot. Still, it stings to see a young player with potential get cut.
Talk about a tough day in South Beach. These are the kinds of moves that tell you exactly where a team stands heading into the season.
