Hey, maybe this is the new regime just cuttin old wood... Just look how Kerley is being treated. Might hold a little water...
This is the bit I don't understand in this. Coples is surely better on the line than Bowen? He has always looked decent enough when used there as far as I was concerned. He's never likely to develop into a top tier guy or be as good as our starters, I get that, but he's better than Bowen and might be an adequate starter somewhere. Surely the move was to waive Bowen (practice squad), and stick Coples back as DL depth. Get him some reps as a backup and maybe more if the season crashes and then there is some trade bait for the end of the season or we can still waive him then if we want.

How does a guy like that get waived? Mind boggling.
I wouldn't be surprised if he went somewhere else and played well. Maybe he wasn't worth being a first rounder, but he played well overall as Jet. Maybe in another system he can be a more consistent playmaker
I have to believe he'll start on another defensive line. This team is stacked in that department and truth be told, I don't know how anyone here can say he sucks. Ded he sucks at OLB?..sure but he was a decent lineman.
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 18s18 seconds ago The #Dolphins claimed pass-rusher Quinton Coples, filling a need on the edge
lol should have seen that coming too...he was a Tanny pick after all and the Dolphins were ahead of the Bills on waiver claims
Gonna be weird for Coples, he anticipated playing at MetLife stadium this week... And he will. In the wrong uniform.
Smart move to cut him now so the Dolphins can pick him up, learn all about our defense and then play us this week. All that so we can bring in this fucking bum linebacker who only plays special teams (Martin). Perfect timing.
you are the biggest drama queen i've ever seen. your posts are pure comedy to me. lol quittin' coples, the bright football mind that he is, is going to teach Miami all about Bowles' defense that he couldn't even learn enough to stay on the field here.
