http://overthecap.com/teamcap.php?Team=Dolphins&Year=2015
Some have shown concern over next year's cap, carry over money, etc. The link gives all the details on the team and every player for 2015. Our tp 51 contracts total $130M, with the cap projected to be over $140M. We start with around $10M plus whatever we carry over, plus any one year deals we may still sign.
We do not have many FA's who we need to sign or extend. Odrick and Clay are the only two must signs I see. We will pick up Pouncey's option which is the average contract of of NFL centers between #3 and #20. That will be added to the $130M.
Our top paid players will be Wallace at $12M, Albert at $10.7M, Grimes at $10M, and Jones at $7.7M. There would be little or no savings to make a move with any of these players.
Then there is Wake at $9.7M, who would save $6.9M if traded, Ellerbe at $9.8M, who would save $5.6M, Finnegen at $6.5M, who would save $5.5M, and Wheeler at $4.4M, who would only save $200K.
There are a few others like Fields at $3.9M, Garner at $1.9M, and Trusnik at $1M, DT at $1M who we could make moves with.
We are in good shape for next year, and will see what needs to be done with Tannehill at that point. He will be making $4M in 2015. So, even if we have to give him a Big deal, it can be absorbed with the 2016 cap increase.
