Miami Dolphins release Isaiah Wilson just days after being traded from Tennessee Titans

The Tennessee Titans officially traded troubled offensive lineman Isaiah Wilson to the Miami Dolphins on March 17 (after Wilson passed his physical).

On Saturday, the Dolphins released the former first-round pick.

According to the Miami Herald, Wilson “refused team efforts to help him get his life on track”.

The Miami Herald reported that Wilson showed up late for his physical, was late for a team orientation, and skipped two optional workouts that he had reportedly committed to attend.

On Friday, A to Z Sports’ Austin Stanley tweeted a video from Instagram of Wilson dancing shirtless in a parking lot.

The Titans traded Wilson, along with a 2022 seventh-round pick to the Dolphins for a 2021 seventh-round pick.

At this point, it’s hard to imagine Wilson getting another chance in the NFL.

Miami Dolphins cut tackle Isaiah Wilson after efforts to help him failed, source says

The Miami Dolphins on Saturday waived troubled offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson just three days after trading for him.

Wilson is said to have refused team efforts to help him to get his life on track, continuing behavior that caused the Tennessee Titans to give up on him less than a year after drafting him in the first round.

Just in the short time since the Dolphins acquired him for late-round draft compensation, Wilson showed up late for his physical, late for his team orientation and skipped two optional workouts that he had committed to attend, the source said.

On Friday, a series of videos were posted on Wilson’s Instagram account of what appeared to be Wilson inhaling a vape and dancing shirtless on a car, but the Dolphins would have cut him even if those had not appeared, the source added.

In his short time as a professional, Wilson has been arrested on DUI charges and separately received a trespassing warning from Tennessee state police, attempting to jump off a second-story balcony to evade arrest. He logged just three offensive snaps before the Titans ended his season early so he could deal with what was deemed as personal issues.

The Dolphins had hoped that a change in environment would change his behavior.

But since Wilson’s antics in Nashville voided all of his salary guarantees, cutting Wilson won’t cost the Dolphins anything. The Titans will keep Miami’s seventh-round pick this year and the Dolphins will keep Tennessee’s seventh-round pick next.
