Miami Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin has denied reports that the club were willing to trade 2013 first-round Draft pick Dion Jordan after just one season.
The 24-year-old struggled for playing time for the Dolphins as he found his place taken by Olivier Vernon, but Philbin has revealed that he is expecting him to make a marked improvement in his second year in the NFL.
Philbin told the Miami Sun-Sentinel: "I don't know where that came from. As I said, I'm expecting him to make a significant jump from year one to year two.
"We think once we get him acclimated better to the position he's playing, we give him more [repetitions], quality reps that he really didn't have last year, he's going to make nice development."
Jordan notched 26 tackles and two sacks in the 2013 season.
