Dolphins Waive Tab Perry; Robertson Retires
No real surprise here with Tab Perry being released, for the most part he was being brought in as a special team player and I couldn’t really see him competing for a starting job at WR with Ginn, Wilford and Hagan locking up the top spots at WR. As well he was injured and If a player gets injured there is no use for him when their are more than capable replacements that are cheaper and younger.
The Miami Dolphins waived oft-injured wide receiver Tab Perry on Wednesday.
Perry, 26, signed a one-year contract with the Dolphins in March but suffered a torn Achilles’ tendon on Saturday.
The UCLA product played in 20 games in his three-year stint in Cincinnati, recording 10 catches for 109 yards and a touchdown. He has also rushed for 22 yards and a score, but has primarily been used as a special teams player.
The 6-foot-3, 208-pound wideout had a productive season as a kick returner in 2005, tallying a 24.4-yard average on 64 returns. In the two years since, however, he has attempted just 11 returns due to a severe hip injury.
As well as the release of Tab Perry an Undrafted free agent that the Dolphins signed retired citing that football was not his thing. He was a real project, but he had the size for the 3-4 defense. He could of very well made the roster if he had an amazing preseason. But if he doesn’t want to play football and has better horizons, thats better for him.
Less than a month into NFL employment, Kory Robertson apparently has decided pro football isn’t for him. The undrafted rookie defensive tackle wasn’t placed on injured reserve as originally believed, but instead has retired.
The Dolphins haven’t announced this move yet. The reason behind Robertson’s decision is uncertain. We’ll update this entry as soon as we know.
Robertson, who is 6-foot-4 and 345 pounds, was viewed as an NFL project. He was among the first wave of undrafted prospects the Dolphins signed right after the draft.
He played for Virginia Tech but didn’t start until the third game of his senior year. He registered three unassisted tackles, six assisted and zero sacks or tackles for loss in 14 games last season.
Over his college career he averaged less than a tackle per game. He recorded one sack and 2 1/2 tackles for loss.
