DeVante Parker's agent rips Gase after WR was inactive Week 7
It appears the rift between the Miami Dolphins and DeVante Parker is growing wider.
Parker's agent, Jimmy Gould, released a statement after the receiver was inactive for the team's Week 7 loss to the Detroit Lions.

In the statement, Gould claimed Dolphins head coach Adam Gase was "not telling the truth" in giving Parker an injury designation during the week.
"His decision was an example of poor management and cost the team the best opportunity to win," Gould said. "He continues to attack the health of my client and that is not acceptable. Parker is not only healthy but wants to help his team win and the only real question that should be asked is how does coach Gase justify his down incompetence.
"(Parker) is completely healthy and was in full participation all week and in warmups this morning. Something smells in Miami."
Parker has played just 37 snaps this season while being listed on the injury report with a quad.
Reports surfaced earlier in the month that the Dolphins were shopping the former first-round wideout, apparently seeking a third-round pick. The Philadelphia Eagles are among the teams interested in the pass-catcher.
