Recognizable veteran + depth-chart contradiction + younger WR push + surprise-cut angle + objective initial-53 deadline

Tutu Atwell could become one of the Dolphins' most surprising roster cuts. Atwell is still high on Miami's unofficial depth chart, but the Dolphins are clearly building around a younger receiver group. Miami currently lists Atwell second at one of its WR positions. Rookie Caleb Douglas has emerged as a potential starter after a strong summer. ESPN's latest 53-man projection keeps six Dolphins receivers and leaves Atwell off, saying AJ Henning has done enough to beat out the veteran. Miami has made getting younger and cheaper a major priority this offseason. Atwell could become the latest veteran caught in that transition.
