Spielman leaves Dolphins

General manager Rick Spielman is voluntarily leaving the Dolphins, according to a Miami Herald story. The move was expected after the Dolphins hired Nick Saban, as coach Saban was given much of the powers that Spielman had under Dave Wannstedt.

The only other Dolphins news of late is the continuing saga of whether Ricky Williams is returning. I don't want to go into that because it's all just guesswork right now, and I'm tired of hearing or talking about Ricky Williams.
