On Tuesday, the Miami Dolphins released linebacker Jerome Baker in an effort to cut back on their salary-cap spending for the 2024 season, as they are still over the cap by quite a bit.
After the news broke, Baker took to social media to share his reaction to his release, which included sharing some love for his former team and referencing an iconic moment from the movie “Friday.”

Baker wasn’t the only one to share his thoughts on the move, as cornerback Jalen Ramsey also posted twice about it.

Baker spent six seasons with the Dolphins and was tied for the longest-tenured player on the team’s roster. Now, that title sits with Durham Smythe and Jason Sanders, who were also members of Miami’s 2018 draft class.
