He had a # he wanted from us. Then he had a separate # he wanted from the other 30 teams.

Lol.... That may be true, but either way he didn't take a pay cut. In fact, IIRC, he ended up with more guaranteed $, which is all the only thing tangible these days.
I do not accept your reality and I continue to represent my faux reality as cited in my previous post. Don't be bringing facts in here and chucking them around all willy nilly Jack!
what then exactly is your point? why is the issue even germane to the question at hand? they will have enough room to sign cook without jumping through any contract hoops. and again, any restructuring/re-doing that frees up more money for this year just subtracts money from future years, so i cannot imagine a scenario at this point where they would want to do that given with all the deals coming up they need the more money for future years, and this years roster is already fine. so i am perplexed as to why this is even a topic of discussion relative to the question at hand?
Kind of depends on how you define less $. Ramsey was owed $17 million this year, $18.5 million in 2024, and $19.5 million in 2025 under his old contract with the Rams. But only $7.5 million of that money was guaranteed. Very similar to the situation with Cook, who’s owed $11 million this year, $12.5 million next year, and $11.5 million in 2025, but only has about $2 million of that remaining money guaranteed.
Ramsey’s total 2023 cash payout from the Dolphins under his reworked deal is $10 million, and his cap number is $2.9 million. So yes, for 2023, he took a lot less money than he was otherwise owed if he played out his Rams contract and didn’t get cut. But we also guaranteed him more than $35 million over the course of the contract, so he pocketed a lot more guarantees than he had before.
We could do something very similar with Cook.
Why is your issue with my issue on the issue germane to the question at hand on the other hand? Where are we headed here?
In all seriousness, they can free up some cap room for this season by giving Wilkins a new contract. I don't know what you're even taking issue with at this point?
If you treat guaranteed money as the only thing that matters (which is not entirely accurate, but it’s not a bad shorthand), then Cook’s current contract only owes him another $2 million, and it will be very easy for us to acquire that contract and rework it into a pay raise without doing anything financially inadvisable.

Any decent left guards available? Maybe another tackle as ours are all injury risks.

Isiah Wynn should compete for that left guard now.

Willy Nilly Jack is the name of my Scritti Politti cover band.
Still one of the best. Imagine seeing them in concert, and then they don't play this song? Might be worse than seeing Men Without Hats, and they don't play Safety Dance!

If Miami can add him somewhere in the $5-7 million range, and not give up draft pics, I think that's a win. I love the player, but not sure the Dolphins really need him at this point.
I don’t actually like Scritti Politti.
I just use the band name in narratives, because it’s funny. Like Oingo Boingo or Sigue Sigue Sputnik.
Achane will be a big part of the short passing game as well as get some Carries…..
Too much of unique weapon to not utilize him this year…..
