Next Year's FA's

Landry has to be locked up by camp. I'd be surprised if they don't prioritize getting him locked up before a potential third consecutive Pro Bowl season.

With Kiko I'd only worry about him now if the price is right long term. Otherwise, let him earn it another year. Not as consistent with his play or health. Though I expect big things from him this year being that a) he won't be the only starting caliber linebacker on the field, b) he will be utilized better outside with the addition of Timmons slotting inside, and c) DL play in front of him should be improved with better depth and hopefully a breakout third year for Phillipsm
 
Ju'wuan James will also be a FA unless they exercise his 5th year option.

they will, especially with the way the tackle market is going.

It's nice his and Tunsils contracts are so far apart because both are going to get paid. By the next time they are up for resigning, Tunsil will more than likely be resigned and James will be replaced with a draft pick.
 
Well unless Dion Jordan magically pulls a monster season out of nowhere Kiki and Landry will for sure command the most money. Some of the other guy will either come cheap or be replaced with players of the same caliber
 
When Tunsil is up he will probably become the highest paid OL in NFL history at the time. I'm that confident in his ceiling.

Getting him at 13, instead of 8, will end up saving us roughly $10 million over the course of 5 years. Another bonus to that trade, in addition to Kiko and Maxwell.
 
I wish Timmons was on that list, a 1 year deal is an easier pill to swallow

Misi will be cut in a few weeks.

Kiko and Landry prob get new contracts this year.

The rest? are all low level contract guys unless anyone really steps up. THis is what happens when you cant draft....

Don't bet on it. I think I read where Koa Misi has made good progress with his neck, but isn't scheduled to meet with the Dolphin team doctor until May. Also remember that his position coach from last year, Matt Burke, is now Defensive Coordinator and Gase's right hand man. My hunch is that Burke likes Koa, otherwise he would have been cut to create salary cap when we were cutting Mario Williams and unloading Branden Albert. Despite all his FH critics, Koa has the reputation of being an excellent teammate who trains well. Coaches have consistently loved him. His problem in recent years has just been keeping healthy enough to play.
