Sign Landry to a long term deal.......now!!!!!!
Armando is not Omar, he may be arrogant, he may have ridiculous opinions at times, but his info is more times then not pretty spot on.
What does that mean?
...and zero starting guards. Well done, FO.
Yeah I'm thinking so to. Something doesn't make sense here.

Overspending for average talent is why Miami hasn't won in awhile.
Boone and Brooks are good, not elite money good.
OTC shows the current contract amount for the Dolphins at $143,555,114 **

Miami Dolphins salary cap for 2016 is $166,767,319 ($155.27M + carryover from perious year). This leaves a balance of $23,212,205.
** This does include Mario Williams and Quddus but they haven't updated for Maxwell, Alonso and Young. It also doesn't seem to show Jordan Cameron's revised contract which was supposed to add $1.5M back into the cap.
According to Sportrac, Maxwell's cap hit is $8.5M (I guess new numbers aren't available yet).

Kiko Alonso's 2016 number is $941,418. Sam Young was signed for a reported $910,000.
That would then leave $14,360,787 which you also have to sign your draft picks with (about $6M).
So unless anyone has any better numbers for this, it doesn't appear that the Dolphins have that much cap space.
No reason Miami couldn't have re-signed Miller or signed Boone/Brooks/Allen/Sweezy. Those guys may not be "great," but think of the improvement over Dallas Thomas and Billy Turner.
