The Miami Dolphins officially released star defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh on Wednesday following the start of the new league year.
The move was expected, and immediately makes Suh the top remaining free agent on the market.
Cutting him will leave the Dolphins with $22.2 million in dead cap space, according to Spotrac. However, if they designate him as a post-June 1 release, his hit will be spread over the next two seasons, with $9.1 million counting against the 2018 cap and $13.1 million in 2019.
The five-time Pro Bowler remains one of the game's elite defensive forces, racking up 4.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, and 47 total tackles last season.
