Former Dolphins DE Igor Olshansky was arrested Thursday on charges of marijuana possession.
Busted as part of a sting involving 279 other people arrested, Olshansky was waived on Wednesday and had the weed on Thursday. Olshansky's career looks to be flaming out at age 29. He definitely won't be claimed off waivers.

Dolphins waived DE Igor Olshansky.
Olshansky was starting to rock the boat in Miami, so he gets the ax. He was inactive last week and reportedly unhappy with his playing time. In eight appearances this year, Olshansky has eight tackles and no sacks.

Dolphins signed DE Igor Olshansky to a one-year contract.
The Cowboys released Olshansky at final cuts rather than pay him $3.34 million as a backup. He'll likely make closer to the veteran minimum in Miami while providing depth with Tony McDaniel (hand) out. According to Pro Football Focus, Olshansky graded out as a fine run defender in Dallas last season.

Cowboys released DE Igor Olshansky.
Olshansky had fallen down the depth chart, and set to make $3.34 million this season, was simply too expensive to keep. Olshansky has started at least 12 games each of the past seven seasons. He'll latch on somewhere else as depth.

ESPN Dallas' Tim MacMahon believes DE Igor Olshansky could be cut.
Olshansky is due $3.34 million and has been demoted on the depth chart after a zero-sack season. Sean Lissemore and Jason Hatcher are cheaper options.

Cowboys DE Igor Olshansky will work behind Kenyon Coleman in practice this week.
It's unclear if this is a short-term move of a demotion for Olshansky, who is coming off a zero-sack season for the first time in his career. It's possible that the coaches just want to give Coleman work with the starters as a heavy rotation at end is expected.
