Saunders, Dunlap, Lymon Cut

The Dolphins aren’t required to cut down to 75 players until Aug. 26, but Tony Sparano and his bosses got a head start Friday by releasing receivers John Dunlap and Selwyn Lymon and linebacker Keith Saunders.

All three were undrafted rookie free agents — Dunlap out of N.C. State, Lymon out of Purdue and Saunders out of Alabama. None had much of a shot at cracking the 53-man roster, anyway, and now that they have been waived, perhaps they have a chance to catch on with another team.

This puts the Dolphins at 75 players on their preseason roster. They can sign up to five more guys, or stick with 75.

Not really any surprises although Lymon, was somewhat unexpected. But it does seem to tidy up the WR position a little bit. The definites to make this team are Ginn, Hagan, Wilford, Bess and Camarillo. But will the Dolphins carry 6? With Kircus or Foster getting on the team. Anthony Armstrong more than likely is gone hes just here as a camp body right now and he was performing better than Dunlap and Lymon.
