Bradley Chubb's Cap Hit Breakdown
- Thread starter andyahs
- Start date
Which means we have to find a trade partner for Cedrick Wilson in the off season. $7M Guaranteed salary needs to be removed from the books. We may end up eating part of that salary and selling the rest off.
Realistically we need to get him "stats" so we can make that a possibility.
Jerome Baker = $3.8M in savings, I'm cutting him. He's just not worth squat. I know he has 3 fans remaining on this site who think he's capable of something other than breaking up passes with the back of his head.
Looking at this salary cap moving forward, its pretty obvious we're going to be targeting a CB with our top pick this year.
Also wondering how this effect's Christian Wilkins potential extension, who I still struggle with grasping his full value. I am not convinced he's a critical long term piece. Wouldn't shock me if the FO considers him a potential trade piece come April, should they want to do something in the draft they currently can't.
The thinking there is you can wipe out his 10.7M (5th year option) salary and possibly get back into the late first round.
Wilkins, like Mike Gesicki, is a player I love on his rookie contract but the extension becomes problematic. Wilkins has a lot more value obviously.
The Chubb contract is going to make all other contracts tougher. Keep that in mind when calling me crazy.

The unknown piece to any and all Miami Dolphin moves this coming season is how much is the cap going to go up? The new NFL Sunday Ticket deal starting next year has not been announced and that is going to be a huge, huge deal. Possibly a $3 Billion dollar deal or more. Right now Over the cap is showing a $17 million bump.

If you cut Baker and Bryon Jones as a post June 1st designation, that's basically 23 million right there

The more it goes up, the better for us, given the position we are currently in.
We are the team players want to join.
We are the city players want to live in.

Very true. At the beginning of the season a vast majority people had the cap going up by a minimum of 25 million.The unknown piece to any and all Miami Dolphin moves this coming season is how much is the cap going to go up?

Cutting jones makes no sense. Only saves 4 million next year. Yeah it sucks he hasn’t played this year but he’s maybe the best #2 in the league when he does. It’s not like this is a common occurrence he’s played 30 out of 32 games prior to this season. Let’s see how he plays once he returns. Just need him back in December to put together a run but I really don’t see why this guy has a such a short leash. Everyone wants him gone because the guy is hurt once?
Great contract. Pricey but team friendly. Pretty much a one year deal if he doesn’t perform he can be let go without much dead money.
That’s structured fantastically by Grier. We’re effectively locked in for 2-3 years but could get out of it with minimal damage after that.

We need better LB's
We need to unload Byron Jones and Cedric Wilson. I think Wilkins is grossly overrated and can be replaced easily. Mike Gesicki will be harder to replace but he is also expendable if his contract requests are exorbitant. I don't see MG or CW here next year, and I felt the same way before the Chubb deal.
This is exactly right. Perfect contract. We’re locked in for 2-3 years, which we were anyway after trading a first round pick for him, and afterwards we can cut him painlessly if it doesn’t work out. If it does work out, he’ll be very reasonably priced at a $23M cap number which we can easily restructure to lower the cap damage if we decide we want to keep him around for more than the 2-3 years.
