The Miami Dolphins are expected to release kicker Jason Sanders after the two sides were unable to come to an agreement on a new contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Jason Sanders departs Miami in the midst of an incredibly productive stretch. He currently holds a streak of 27 consecutive made field goals, providing a reliable scoring option for the Dolphins' offense. His performance from long range has been equally impressive, as he successfully converted on each of his last nine field goal attempts from 50 yards or further.
The move comes as a significant shakeup to the Dolphins' special teams unit. Despite his recent accuracy and success from distance, the inability to finalize a long-term deal has led the organization to move on from the veteran kicker. Sanders now enters the open market as one of the most statistically consistent kickers available for teams in need of special teams help.
