This post is ridiculous but I did this research so I figured I'd share it.

We currently have 132 million in cap space in 2022.

Cutting G. Little adds another 1.5 million bc let's be honest hes gone and has a $0 dead cap hit. Cutting other fringe guys could bring 5 to 10 more but I'm not going that deep.

So 133.5 million...

Draft picks roughly 8.5 million, maybe less if we trade some away for Rodgers.

125 million left for signings

Gesicki -8.5 million (Darren Wallers contract #)

114.5 left

Terron Armstead LT -22.5Million (going rate for top 5 LT)

92 Million left

Aaron Rodgers - 28 Million

64 left

Davante Adams -18 Million

46 Left

Brandon Scherff - G -17 million

29 left to spend on resigning guys like Ogbah and adding depth.

Just a little exercise I did to see how much cap space we had and if we could in theory get Rodgers and Adams and fix our oline at the same time. It could probably be done.

No way do I think this will happen but fantasizing about future hypotheticals is once again all I have left when thinking about this team.
 
I think even the cap experts are going to be shocked at how high the cap will be next year. That being said I don’t see Rodgers as a Florida guy.

Feel your pain Bro. I'm looking at three promotions to get to a encouraging rebuild. Yes rebuild ( with a little pre start).

First whole FO Flores and Grier must go or its another year down the drain.

Focus on actually backing and getting help for Tua with real coaches to help ( you know in our world thry are called teachers. ) Though sadly I don't think the kid will stay with us and I completely understand from organization to even clueless fan base.

but in the fantasy world FA 2 OT a must. Then in FA or draft RB, LBr, Center would be nice if a really good one there and WR again and then I don't really care. I mean that if this done would put me in shock.

Been a dolphin since their inception and NEVER, NEVER seen it this screwed up. Christ going back to the book of Football 101 and discovering what an offense even is, would be an improvement.
Ross is like Mush in Bronks Tale ............

We absolutely do. And you are saying what I have been preaching.

Everything in your post I would do and we have the money.

Switch out Scherff with Wyatt Teller and add laken Tomlinson.

Our offense will be set with Rodgers or with Tua.

Yes. The answer is yes we can do this.

Unless u r high on Jones from Tennessee. The WHOLE o line can be replaced with money left to sign Adam's, Gesicki eyc.

Because Ross gifts him the team in a final last ditch effort to redeem himself in the eyes of Miami fans everywhere. Rogers accepts ownership and plays for his own team loading it up with talent from all across the globe.

Miami wins 25 SuperBowls in a row and Rogers has a city named after him in Florida (Rogersville) that also helps provide socks for homeless people everywhere.
 
Keep those pipe dreams coming, boys! The cavalry will arrive any second (or by next year, at least) to save us from being a doormat team. Decades of incompetence and wrong decisions righted in one fell swoop! May as well hope for it, I guess, since the team sure as hell isn’t climbing out of the morass with Ross and his band of incompetents in charge.

The biggest weakness I see is assuming all those names would sign and for the money proposed. They'll be chased by multiple teams and may prefer those locations/ offers
