29.8 freed up
Olindo 2.5 take 1mill off 1.5 (savings of 1)
30.8 total savings to be allocated to new players. Then add in the increase in allowable cap room up to 79mill from 75 mill and we now have roughly 35mill of free cap space.
We could keep SM if he took a paycut and Mare needs to adjust his 'highest paid kicker' thinking if he isn't the best kicker and has been declining the past 2 seasons.
I think we'll be able to keep O-gun and SM and..............how much money did we need for Manning, a couple good draft receivers, and a couple O-line guys?
Between incentives and the tenders for restricted free agents and exclusive-rights players, the Dolphins are expected to be about $17 million over the cap going into the offseason.
