Kenny Stills is days away from free agency and, at this moment, it doesn’t sound like the Dolphins are going to be able to keep him off the market. Stills could fetch around $12MM/year and the Dolphins are unwilling to go that high for him, sources tell Armando Salguero of The Miami Herald.

Multiple NFL sources tell Salguero that Stills is more likely to leave via free agency than stay in Miami. At the same time, talk of Stills joining up with the Eagles is gaining momentum. The Dolphins will continue to negotiate with Stills’ reps, but it sounds like they will hold the line as they look to add at defensive end, linebacker, guard, potentially defensive back. The team also has to address the long-term futures of players like safety Reshad Jones, receiver Jarvis Landry, and linebacker Kiko Alonso.
Stills isn’t the only free agent that could wind up leaving the Dolphins in March. The team has also indicated to defensive end Andre Branch and tight end Dion Sims that they will not necessarily outbid the field to keep them. It seems the Dolphins are pushing a team-first agenda in which they are expecting free agents to give the team a hometown discount. One has to wonder if players will buy into that program.
Let him leave. That money should be spent elsewhere.
Agreed. He’s not worth 12. He’s maybe worth 7
I’d hate to see him go, only 24 with a lot of upside, but yeah, 12 mil is to much
Make it happen SF, you need a good wide receiver, and have the cap.
He dropped that pass in seattle!!! Still tho, i def dont think hes worth that money
12 mil for this guy is beyond crazy. He’s subpar as a route runner and only has speed working for him. Anyone thinking Mike Wallace part 2 here? I don’t care if you all tear apart my opinion, but, given the availability of so many players due to cuts, trades and the draft.. why be so desperate to spend irresponsibly? Landry needs an extension more than anyone. Jones needs to either extend or be traded. As impressed as I was with Miami’s money management heading in to free agency, we need to remind ourselves that a few teams are working with more to blow. Losing Charles Clay to the Bills as a fiscal checkmate was cute, but how many times can we risk allowing high reward players to go elsewhere? What do I mean? Wes Welker. What’s my point? Retain those that are worth the money and the recognition of a news story. Not the ones that want to make news and be recognized. Kenny was never “elite”. Then again, this is not the first time we’ve dealt with the Saints shedded players. In conclusion, we have a solid slot/slant WR in Jarvis, now, a vertical threat in Julius and a potentially decent player in DeVante. Kill Kenny you bastards and screw those guys, let’s take it home! #GoPhins
