Three Dolphins Released

Vick among three released by Dolphins DAVIE, Fla. (AP) - Marcus Vick's stint with the Miami Dolphins is over. Vick, signed last season as a free-agent receiver after a troubled career as Virginia Tech's quarterback, was among three players waived by the Dolphins on Tuesday. The Dolphins also released defensive tackle Manny Wright and linebacker Bobby Iwuchukwu. Vick appeared in one game with the Dolphins after spending some of the year on practice squad. Vick was kicked off Virginia Tech's team following his junior year after repeated brushes with the law and other misbehaviour. Last December, a 17-year-old girl who claimed she had a two-year sexual relationship with Vick filed a US$6.3 million lawsuit against him, alleging sexual battery upon a minor, infliction of emotional distress, fraud and other charges. Wright was reduced to tears on the practice field during the 2005 season when scolded by then-coach Nick Saban, and asked to be released or traded away last season. He did not play in the 2006 season, and was with the Dolphins for their first minicamp under new coach Cam Cameron last month. Iwuchukwu spent last year on practice squads in San Francisco and Baltimore and signed with the Dolphins earlier this off-season.
