I wouldn't take a discount to play in Cleveland. That ownership churns through coaches like I churn through toilet paper after eating 3 burritos from Taco Bell

Who the heck eats 3 burritos from Taco Bell???

We've got roughly $9 million...although not sure how much we've spent on picking up Sheppard and whatever other players we sign this year for injured guys. That gets carried over. We rolled over $18 million last year and our cap hit this year is estimated to be $132 million according to Spotrac.com http://www.spotrac.com/cap-tracker/nfl/ with a total cap space of $141 million. Next years cap hit will be $142 million. http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/miami-dolphins/cap/2015/. This years salary cap is $133 million...next year who knows. Might be $140 million (in which case we may be over by $2 million before any cuts or contract restructuring and possible carry over). Best case scenario is we get to carry over $7 million of the cap savings from this year, cap goes up 10% again to $146 million and then we're looking at our cap space as $153 million giving us $11 million under the cap. Roughly $6 million of which will go to signing the rookie class giving us about $5 million to play with before cuts.

Our free agents next year....Knowshon Moreno, Louis Delmas, Matt Moore, Jared Odrick, Daryn Colledge, Samson Satele, Charles Clay, Jimmy Wilson, Jason Trusnik, Derrick Shelby, Jonathan Freeny, Michael Thomas...those are the significant ones. With not much money to sign most of them.

Nice write up, but with that being said Hickey better have a kick-azz draft next year. No excuses for him and he will be judged on it harshly and it's where he'll prove his worth

No way Cameron isn't tagged next year. Plus I'm sure he's going to be looking for something close to what Jimmy Graham got. As of right now we're predicted to be over the cap next year.

From what I've read on the vote we would get Dion Jordan back immediately but still unsure about Reshad Jones' status.

We shouldn't be over the cap next year, it should be a wash if the cap doesn't rise with carry over.

We've only got $9 million in cap space now. Estimated salary cap hit for next year is $142 million...cap is currently $133 million...$133 million plus $9 million rollover (if we don't end up having to sign a bunch of players because of injuries) = $142 million...we're pretty much dead even now and I listed the free agents we have for next year which include Knowshon Moreno, Charles Clay, Matt Moore as well as others.

we will let moore go, and keep clay, probably extend ryan instead of picking of the option and pay way to much. depending on knowshons season resign him. lbs will more than likely be new, and one wr casualty. more than likely hartline bc of his cap unless Wallace sucks for the rest of the season

We're going to need $4 - $6 million to sign the rookie class. Most likely there will be a number of players gone as Hickey begins to evaluate exactly who fits and who doesn't. I can see Hartline and possibly Wallace being asked to restructure but not sure if either one will be cut...hard to let go of Hartline when he has good chemistry with Tannehill but then Gibson or Matthews can play outside and we could draft a red zone threat WR with some size. Most likely we'll cut Ellerbe and/or Wheeler and save a few million there and probably draft a couple of linebackers. We'll probably need to get $8-$12 million under the cap to sign free agents and the draft class next year.

So far he's proved enough for me. Look at our o-line, FA's like Moreno and the UDFA's we got. We still need a seam tight end, a big WR, a couple LB's and a big time RB. Still, I'm very happy with our GM!
