According to Mike Garafolo, the Dolphins have declined LB Stephone Anthony‘s fifth-year option for the 2019 season.
It’s worth mentioning that the fifth-year option is only guaranteed for injury and won’t prevent the two parties from working on a long-term extension in the next year or so.
Anthony, 25, is a former first-round pick out of Clemson by the Saints in the 2015 NFL Draft. He is entering the final year of his four-year, $7.731 million rookie contract that included $6.242 million guaranteed and is set to earn a base salary of $ for 2018.
The Dolphins acquired him from the Saints during last year’s offseason in exchange for a 2018 fifth-round pick.
In 2017, Anthony appeared in eight games for the Dolphins and recorded 15 total tackles and no sacks.
