Contrary to what various media outlets have reported, from the Sun-Sentinel to ProFootballTalk.com, Perry has not been released and is in fact still with the team.
If I may clarify the situation, Perry has been waived/injured, meaning if he clears waivers he will revert to the Dolphins' injured reserve list. While it is quite possible ends up getting an injury settlement from the team and gets released, he is still a member of the team for the time being. It is possible another team claims him off waivers, though this is extremely unlikely as teams rarely claim guys that just suffered season-ending injuries.
Update: It seems that more than a day after ProFootballTalk.com ran their initial story about Perry being released, they've finally learned from a "league source" (as opposed to yours truly yesterday) that Perry has indeed not be cut. Considering the whole waived/injured-to-I.R. thing happens dozens of times throughout the league each offseason, one wonders how a website dedicates to following the league was unaware of how it worked.
Analysis
I've seen quite a few Dolphins fans write this news off as completely irrelevant, and while it's not a tough hit to the team by any stretch it does carry with it some significance.
First, as I'd said in videos earlier this offseason, I felt talent-wise, Perry was one of the better receivers on the team after Ernest Wilford and Ted Ginn, Jr. If he had stayed healthy, I think he would have had a very good shot at the No. 4 job, and even could have challenged Derek Hagan for the No. 3 spot.
The absence of Perry gives every other receiver one less guy to compete with, and thus a better chance to make the roster. However, I guys like David Kircus and Greg Camarillo benefit more, because I feel strongly that the Dolphins will give the No. 5, and likely final, receiver spot to one of the undrafted rookies. Therefore the No. 4 job would likely have been between Perry, Camarillo and Kircus, and the losers of that group would be cut in favor of a rookie for the last spot.

Dance, Bitch, Dance!!!!!!!!!
So when can we see you start to cry about JT? He's not going to be a fin - blah blah blah. I'm still waiting to see you bust a move or should i wait till football season so i can see your moves at tony's. You sure as hell can throw or catch a football so maybe you can impress me with your dancing skills.
Wow, could it be?
It's hard to believe it's him considering that it's a somewhat coherent post, and not nearly as many grammatical errors as one would expect. He might have gotten some help with the spelling. I never would have thought it possible but he'll be even more obnoxious than usual this year. But it'll be worth it since nothing would have been worse than the Patsies winning it all.
The Giant's suck my balls, the Pat's blow my load!!!! Fiedler is my hero/god! But I still wish the fins drafted Micheal Vick the best quarterback ever!!! who care if he killed dogs! The dude doing these videos looks like a eminum regect. which one is more depresing? he deserves the duh-de-duh award. The fins are going to suck this year and for a long time because they did not draft mcfaddin the fastests bestest player to play da game. Ronnie Brown can't play a season and rickey by mid year will be with me filming a porno in euro with some fat hoes smoking a fat blunt. As far as the Giants fan is concern.... I will kick your ass dude. On opening day me and you at tonys in the parking lot around 12:00.... I will kick you ass so hard you would rather wish you were gay taken it up the shoot! It's on Brother.... what's ya going ta do.... when the stool boys going jizzing on you.
You go dance, bitch, dance with you homo friends!!!!!!
I hope Davone Bess makes a spot
he'll be the welker we supposed to have
Giants fan's says....
Stool boys - you are a joke. I've taken your crap for how long and i never tried to pick a fight with youz guyz. I'll be at Tony's day 1, but not to fight youz guyz, but continue to laugh at youz cause youz guyz is a disgrace to man kind. Youz make me appreciate my life more (I could of ended up like youz). I don't want to fight youz cause what would i have to laugh at if i distroyed youz. So keep on wacking off to Dan Marino and Jay Fiedler at night and I look forward to laughing at youz come day 1.
P.S. Dolphins are going to suck this year.
However, I think youz guyz suck more d*ck* than a two dollar oreintal hore. I've heard about your gay porns youz guyz are in.
From someone who is going to kick Chris in the nuts....
Tony's dude, first game, be there, I'm going to kick you in the balls
(ha ha ha/poop)
Stool boys = retardation (... I think their name says it all)
Giants fan = #1 Son-of-a-bitch (I have to be nice to this guy forever due to the super bowl)
Chris = (Deep Breath)..... eminem look a like (didn't you use to bleach you hair)/ Wak's off to a picture of the 72 team while wearing denold lee's receiving glove. Anyone who ever tried on that glove... haha. Can't throw a football or catch. One way or another his football ends up on holcomb bridge.
First day at Tony's = Priceless
Stool boys get the crap bet out of them.
Chris throws his football into traffic on holcomb bridge and gets kicked in the nuts.
Giant's fan will be told from grown men (with no lives) that they love him and will kindly tell him to move back to new york.
...and the dolphins might WIN!!!!
Not!
