Dolphins receive $6.5MM cap for free agents

That's the rookie pool, not for free agents. It's for the 9 draft choices.
 
Actually it includes the Udfa as well...
Even though agents and teams get around the rookie pool with contract escalators, post first-year option bonuses and one-time incentives, the rookie pool was created to somehow slot the signings of draft choices by the position they were selected. Each selection in the draft is given a value, which is a predetermined cap number. All rookies, including undrafted rookies, have to fit within the assigned rookie pool.

after that is said, the article contradicts itself, by saying...
"The Miami Dolphins signed Michigan tackle Jake Long to a five-year, $57.75 million deal that had a $3 million cap number. That contract left $3.538,400 for the other eight draft choices, which include two seconds and a third."
