Miami Dolphins Release Former No. 1 Draft Pick Mario Williams

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, Mario Williams, was cut by the Miami Dolphins on Thursday.

The 32-year-old defensive end recorded just nine tackles and 1.5 sacks in 2016, and he played only five snaps in the Dolphins’ 30-12 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Wild Card Round on Jan. 8.
