The Dolphins, we’ve been told, are taking a hard line in part because the employee negotiating the contract, Dawn Aponte, once worked for the league’s management council, which is believed to be pushing teams not to budge on the offset issues. (For most of the top 10 picks, that strategy has yet to work.)


Was a horrible move hiring this twit! We havent been in any significantly better cap position than we were before she came here.

Dawn works for Ireland. Not the other way around.

If Dawn is getting in the way, tell her to be quiet or be fired. Either way, its Ireland's job to get this done. He is the one that failed, not Dawn.

No arguement here, however she is the cap "guru" and likely advises Ireland. Ireland should have fired her last season. As I said before, we are in no remarkably better cap position than we were before her arrival. Im sure she has very limited talent, which would be an explanatin as to why Cleveland fired her.

The above statement is incorrect. The Dolphins for years had to cut players just to get under the cap at the start of the league year. Aponte was hired just in 2010 and has helped improve the cap in recent years. This year Miami actually entered free agency with over $10 million without any moves prior. They have been cleaning up past regimes cap mistakes and are now set to enter 2013 with OVER $50 million in space. Granted some of that will go to re-signing key players like Long, Starks and Bush, but Miami is no longer considered to be in "cap hell" something they were under Wannstedt, Saban, Cameron and early in Sparano's tenure. You can't fix a cap problem over night, but since her hire in 2010 the Dolphins cap situation has greatly improved. Those are facts.
