The Miami Dolphins will release quarterback Joey Harrington before the beginning of the free-agent signing period on Friday, the Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Monday.
The team also will cut offensive guards Seth McKinney and Bennie Anderson, the paper said.
Harrington had a 5-6 record as a starter last season, but was benched in favor of Cleo Lemon for the finale against Indianapolis.
Lemon will compete with Daunte Culpepper for the starting spot next season, the Sun-Sentinel added.
But cutting Harrington, the team will avoid having to pay him a $1 million roster bonus.
