He could have left with Dolphins fans thinking great things about what he has done for the Dolphins, but his attitude has soured a lot of Dolphins fans. Prideful and selfish players just don't understand the importance of that until they retire.

The source in touch with the Dolphins said Miami hasn’t publicly made an issue of Jones skipping OTAs because the Dolphins don’t want to damage his trade value.
Jones – who has a $17.2 million cap hit if he’s on the team - is not expected to be part of the Dolphins’ longterm future, but he still could remain on the team this season if the Dolphins can’t find a trade partner.
From all indications, the Dolphins aren’t of the mindset to simply give him away if they don’t get a draft pick or if the other team isn’t willing to pay at least part of his salary.
Releasing Jones would be pointless, because Miami would have a $17.1 million dead money hit in that scenario and just $100,000 in cap savings. Additionally, $11 million of his $13.1 million base salary this season is guaranteed.
