The Dolphins will release Joey Porter. Wish granted. Porter used radio row during Super Bowl week to vehemently express displeasure with his role, which declined in 2009 after a 2008 season in which he was a finalist for Defensive Player of the Year. The act was embarrassing to Dolphins, and arguably Porter himself. Porter, who went to high school in Bakersfield, CA, has stated that he wants to play out west.
