Logan Ryan on wanting to be seen as a safety: I'm 'similar to a Tyrann Mathieu'
"Look at the numbers -- 100 tackles, four sacks, four forced fumbles, the pass break-ups, the INTs. I just feel like that's not really possible too much at just playing corner, so could a team move me around a lot?" Ryan said. "... I was a versatile player, a matchup guy, similar to a Tyrann Mathieu, maybe a Justin Simmons. I feel like that was more the position I was playing last year for Dean Pees, as opposed to a true traditional corner, so it's hard to compare me to that."
Could Dolphins financially fit free agent Logan Ryan in the picture?
The Miami Dolphins’ free agent spending spree was fast and furious this spring. Miami’s talent influx was decidedly one sided, too — there was little to no worry of losing talents via t…

But does the money? With the looming cap reduction in 2021 amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Dolphins need to be careful and calculated with their spending from here on out. The expectation coming from the Ryan camp is that he won’t take a pay cut to play this season, which means he’s hoping for $10M+ annual average salary. Yes, the Dolphins have the cap space to bring that on for 2020 and have no questions asked— the team is currently credited with just over $24.5M in salary cap space, which is the 7th-highest figure in the league. But again, the concern here is for the 2021 cap, if Miami pays Ryan out a $10M salary for 2020 and he’s due the same amount in 2021, the Dolphins are losing not just $10M against the cap this year but actually $20M against the 2021 cap.
With $20M less at the team’s disposal for 2021, Miami would be looking at entering the 2021 offseason with a projected $6-8M in cap space. And that comes before any player re-signings or paying draft picks, which the Dolphins have two of in the first round alone. This won’t be an easy proposition — especially if the Ryan camp stands firm on their desired cost to play.
