Tannehill restructured his contract

[fansinceGWilson]

Gase doesn't work the cap.

True, but TBaum wouldn't restructure Tanny without Gase's approval. This is not an exclusive TBaum move.

 

[mrbunglez]

Tannehill always thinking team 1st. Love the guy. Good person, good QB. Hope he lights it up this year so we can put to rest all the doubt.

 

[DolfanISS]

Yay, best defensive player will be drafted at 11.

 

[Dolfan23]

Seems to indicate no QB in the first round. It would be real dick to have Tannehill restructure and then draft his replacement.

All he has to do is outplay the rookie and continue to improve himself and the rookie will never see the field. Not that we don't have bigger needs but a 1st - 2nd round QB won't lose their value that quick.

 

[circumstances]

You can carry over unused cap.

If we don't spend the money this year, we can add it to the 60 million + we already have available next year.

 

[fansinceGWilson]

Don't really get the need for these restructures. There's not enough talent out there to be big spending in free agency this year. Guess were going to plug up with the roster with more mid level garbage.

But Miami needs money for resignings, rookies, and some of the standard "just in case" money

 

[joenhre]

Does anyone have at least a guestimate of where we currently sit with the subtractions, restructures, and additions (Wilson, Amendola, Quinn)?

My guess with all the current moves they are between 12 and 13 million under the cap right now. Won't know for sure until we see the exact #s for Amendola & Wilson.

Every team does but most don't have to mortgage the future to get there. If you think this new found money is for "just in case money", you better brace yourself.

Then we get a bunch more June 1 from the Suh cut, correct?

Yeah 17 million more after June 1st from Suh's contract.

Dolphins cut Julius Thomas, save $6.6 million

Dolphins released TE Julius Thomas.

The no-brainer move saves $6.6 million against the cap. Acquired from the Jaguars last February, 29-year-old Thomas simply couldn't run in 2017. A career of lower-body injuries have sapped his explosiveness. He turns 30 in June and is going to have a hard time drumming up interest on the open market. The Dolphins have little to work with at tight end on their 90-man roster.

Ozzy rules!!

 

[BigNastyFish]

Why he's under contract.

is "Why" a question?

 

[Beach Bum]

@RapSheet: For #Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill, instead of a $17.475M base, he gets a $16.7M Signing Bonus and the base went to a minimum. All upfront… which is nice.

Anybody know if this would change, or not, if RT doesn't fully recover from his knee injury? Are we protected here if he can't go or are we on the hook for the duration?

 

[Michael Scott]

Sitton and Ebron would be a great start. I'm more comfortable dangling 42 to move up from 11 if we have a TE signed.

 

[ForksPhin]

Now pray his knee is 100% and holds up all season.
