I believe these numbers linked to below are now updated for Tua's and Tyreek's new deals. Puts them at $44mm over the cap for 2025. Third worst in the NFL. Some thoughts:

-I think a lot of pressure to win this year, we will be forced to drop some more players next year, probably some good ones, just like this past off-season with Wilkins and Hunt

-A lot of pressure to hit on last years draft class (Cam Smith, etc) and this years draft class. Really need Chop and Patrick Paul to pan out to take pressure off the budget

-Who goes? In part depends on how the rookies look, but I wonder about Jaelan Phillips, and Jevon Holland. Not saying I want these guys to go, but the Dolphins will have some tough decisions. Personally, if they could move Chubb, even for a lower pick, just to dump the salary, that could be the best of some not so good options just to free up some money.

Other thoughts?

No worries, the NFL got out of paying that Sunday Ticket law-suit so cap will go up dramatically again.

We will be fine.

We apparently have $35m is space currently. Plenty of space can be rolled over to 2025. And the cap will increase again.

it shows us at $23mm of space currently for 2024. again our 2025 space is 3rd worst in the NFL. not sure how that can be spun as a positive with no implications. there is no free lunch.

The numbers for the Hill contract just gave us another $12m in 2024 cap space. We are up to $35m. There’s no need for positive spin.

Lmao.

On a serious note, I wonder how much of that is rollover for 2025 and/or if they’re planning on extending someone like Jevon Holland now.

We also have our 1 and 2 next year and you know Chris is going to be looking into who is available at the trade deadline.

There’s always Justin Simmons but we did just bring in Marcus Maye.

I was told the numbers are already updated for the Tyreek deal. If they are not, 2025 I think will look worse

Expected cap is only 260 on those websites. There’s no chance it’s below 275 and that’s being conservative. Most likely 2025 cap will be around 285-290.

Armstead is also for sure gone and retire which saves a ton of money. Plus we can roll over the 35 million we currently have assuming we don’t have any major signings.

Realistically we are more than likely to be under by around 20-30 million. With that said we also have Holland, long and some other holes but we are in a much better situation than last year.
 
We’ll be fine in 2025 since we have a lot of cap space that will roll over plus the cap will increase. I don’t see us making any big splashes next offseason but instead we’ll sign a haul of cheap vets like this past offseason. Next years draft will be critical though since we’ll have a good amount of picks

i could be wrong, and maybe the numbers are not updated yet. we will know for sure within a day or two. having said all of that, everyone was selling the same thing last year, and it came to this offseason and we had no money for wilkins or rob hunt
