Dolphins release Isaiah Wilson after attempts to help him failed
The Miami Dolphins are releasing troubled offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson after several attempts to help him get his life back on track failed, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Miami has had several incidents with Wilson since acquiring him from the Tennessee Titans. The 22-year-old was hours late for his physical, late for his onboarding process and didn't show up to voluntary workouts he had committed to Thursday and Friday, Pelissero adds.
A series of videos were posted on Wilson's Instagram account Friday showing him inhaling a vape and dancing shirtless on a car. According to Adam H. Beasley of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins would have cut him even if those videos didn't surface. (Warning: Inappropriate language can be heard in the second video.)
Wilson's behavior has been unacceptable since being selected by the Titans in the first round of the 2020 draft. He has been arrested on DUI charges and also received a trespassing warning from the Tennessee state police after attempting to jump off a second-story balcony to evade arrest.
The Dolphins hoped a change of scenery would benefit Wilson. They were wrong.
It's unclear if any other NFL teams will take a chance on the Georgia product, who is now a free agent.
