The Miami Dolphins have a decision to make on defensive end Phillip Merling, who's out for the season with a torn Achilles' tendon: place him on injured reserve or the non-football injury list.

If the Dolphins choose the latter, they could opt to reduce his $600,000 salary, per the Miami Herald.

Per the report, the Dolphins are likely to work something out with Jimmy Sexton, Merling's agent, that might cut his pay. Sexton also represents Bill Parcells, the Dolphins' top executive.

The report also states that players are wondering where Merling has been this offseason because he hasn't been at team headquarters much.

I wish him only the best. Get well, young man.
This stuff happens, didn't cause Terrell Davis to retire, as that actually was the knee injury he sustained while tackling a Jet on an INT - that being said he was always and the donkeys cognizant of this issue with Daivs as well...migraines and nuerological problems are real for damn sure and don't make an NFL players life any easier - and seriously "karma" - give it a rest already - Favre's not the devil, hasn't been sighted hanging with Lucifer or sacrificying any virgins - well lately anyway - that was the "before PG Favre" that's marketed for mass consumption...
