Dolphins' Branden Albert: Released by Dolphins

Albert will be released by the Dolphins on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Analysis:

Albert's release signals the start of Laremy Tunsil's tenure at left tackle for the Dolphins, who the team has pegged a future Hall of Famer since they drafted him in the first round of the 2016 draft. The move also saves Miami $7.2 million in cap space, but the Dolphins surrender a good player in Albert, who will surely be sought after throughout the coming months. Look for him to have a job at either guard or tackle by the time the 2017 regular season commences.
