The Miami Dolphins released Joey Porter after three seasons with the team, it was announced on Friday. Porter said last week that he wanted to be released, not traded, by the Dolphins because he was frustrated about a reduced role with the team. Porter also doubted that his relationship with coach Tony Sparano could be repaired. "I asked the coach if that was the situation you planned on using me, just let me leave. I don't want to be traded nowhere," Porter said. "If you don't want me to play full time, just make it easy on both of us and release me. I'm not asking for no more money. I'm not asking for nothing different. I'm just asking to play. If I can't do that for you, then why you want to keep me there, knowing that I'm unhappy? Bringing that negative vibe?"
