The Dolphins are going to release Joey Harrington before free agency begins on Friday.  The Dolphins like Cleo Lemon better than Harrington as Culpepper’s back up and that’s a big reason why Harrington will be cut.  Harrington played in 11 games (11 starts) and he completed 223 of 388 passes (57.5%) for 2,236 yards with 12 TD passes and 15 interceptions (68.2 QB Rating).  He also carried the football 19 times for 24 yards (1.3 ypc).  The Dolphins are also likely to look hard at drafting Brady Quinn if he’s available with the #9 pick in the NFL Draft in April.

The Dolphins completed 78 passes for 756 yards with 4 TD catches for the season to their tight ends.  Randy McMichael was the main man at this position as he played in 16 games (all starts) and he caught 62 passes for 640 yards (10.3 avg) with 3 TD catches.  It was his 3 straight season that he caught 60+ passes in a season.  For his career, McMichael has played in 80 games (80 starts) and he has caught 283 passes for 3,096 yards (10.9 avg) with 18 TD catches.

Justin Peelle played in 15 games (10 starts) and he caught 16 passes for 116 yards (7.3 avg) with 1 TD grab.  For his career, Peelle has played in 77 games (29 starts) and he has caught 56 passes for 386 yards (6.9 avg) with 5 TD catches.
