Dolphins already cut Jarquez Hunter days after acquiring him from Rams
The Dolphins have already moved on from Jarquez Hunter three days after trading Tutu Atwell to the Rams for him.
The Miami Dolphins recently acquired running back Jarquez Hunter from the Los Angeles Rams in a trade that involved receiver Tutu Atwell. However, Hunter didn't make the team's final roster and was waived by the Dolphins just three days after the trade. Initially, it was expected that both Hunter and Atwell would be cut candidates, with Atwell providing a non-guaranteed contract alternative for Hunter.
Atwell, who joined five tight ends on the Rams roster, is a valuable possession for the team due to his familiarity with the Rams' playbook. The Dolphins' move allowed them to reduce Atwell's guaranteed salary and bring in Hunter on a practice squad contract, pending a successful waiver clearance. Should the Rams decide to rekindle their connection with Atwell, they could claim him off waivers or even sign him to the practice squad if Hunter wishes to return.
