Josh Sitton barely got to suit up for the Miami Dolphins by the time his days playing in South Florida were over. The Dolphins announced on Wednesday that they have released Sitton despite him playing just one game for the team.

Sitton signed a two-year, $18 million deal with Miami this time last year that included $8 million in guaranteed money. He played in his new team's season-opener, an impressive 27-20 win over the Tennessee Titans, but he missed the remainder of the season after it was learned he suffered a torn rotator cuff in the second half of the Dolphins' victory.

The 32-year-old spent the previous two seasons with the Chicago Bears after signing a three-year, $21.8 million deal. He made the Pro Bowl his first season in the Windy City, but he didn't show enough the following season for the Bears to want to retain him.

Sitton began his career with the Green Bay Packers in 2008. A fourth-round pick out of USC, he became a full-time starter at right guard in 2009, opening an incredible 110 of the Packers' 112 regular season games from 2009 to 2015, making the switch to left guard in 2013. Sitton was named Offensive Lineman of the Year by the NFL Alumni Association in 2010, and he earned three Pro Bowl appearances with Green Bay overall.

It's unclear what type of market will develop for the the 6-foot-3, 320-pound veteran after almost a full season away from the game. ESPN's Rich Cimini, however, says he believes Sitton could be a target of the New York Jets, who named former Bears coach Adam Gase the team's new head coach in January.
