Analysis:
The Dolphins added Mario Williams on Tuesday and already have Cameron Wake in tow, so they decided to let Vernon explore his options a bit more, and will no longer be able to automatically match any offer he receives. Vernon tallied 7.5 sacks last season and 25.5 sacks over the last three seasons, so interest in him will be high.
