Rumor about Reggie Bush

long is the only one i want to keep from that list.

If sean smith puts out this year, maybe.

A punter? who cares?

Hartline has done nothing.

the others are all either over paid(starks) or no names.

ha ha...you can't gut the whole roster...but i hear ya...ireland is gonna bring some of em back though...and probably on a few for bad money...
 
Well here is the problem with next season, Miami is indeed 60 million or so under the cap but that is because of this list:

Impending Free Agents

LT Jake Long
RB Reggie Bush
QB Matt Moore
WR Brian Hartline
CB Sean Smith
DT Randy Starks
TE Anthony Fasano
P Brandon Fields
SS Chris Clemons
FS Tyrone Culver
OL Nate Garner
OL Ryan Cook

Granted a lot of this list doesn't need to come back but Long will eat up a huge chunk of change, Bush will as well if they don't let him walk. I am also assuming at least 4 or 5 others are retained off this list so that eats up a lot of the 60 million.
Your missing a few on your list.

OL Artis Hicks
DL Tony McDaniel
QB David Garrard
LB Jason Trusnik (if he sticks on the roster)
OL Lydon Murtha
WR Roberto Wallace (if he sticks)
WR Marlon Moore (if he sticks)
WR Chad Johnson
LB Gary Guyton
S Tyrell Johnson (if he sticks)
RB Steve Slaton (if he sticks)
WR Legedu Naanee (if he sticks)
CB Jonathan Wade (if he sticks)
OLB/DE Jamaal Westerman
OL Ray Feinga
LB Austin Spitler
S Anderson Russell (if he sticks)

And there are another 10 potential free agents in 2014. I only point this out because some people think we have a lot of money to spend but when you look at the number of players we'll need to sign to fill the roster it's not that much money. The league has also told franchises to expect the salary cap to remain flat till 2015.

you could release every one of them if need be...
 
Why are we worried about alleged rumor for NEXT offseason? Come on get a grip people. It's almost time for training camp QB battle and Hard Knocks.

how the heck is cam wake 3 years $17 mil...thats got to be an error

Nope here are the details as I read them:

Inside the numbers: Cameron Wake’s contract extension with Miami Dolphins is really three years, $17 million

by Ben Volin

Sunday, news broke that Cameron Wake signed a four-year extension worth $20 million guaranteed with the Dolphins. After receiving the contract details today, however, Wake really signed a three-year contract worth $17 million guaranteed.

http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/thed...mi-dolphins-is-really-three-years-17-million/

It is a five year deal but all in all it is three years.
 
$17 million guaranteed...only a 3 year guaranteed contract for a top pass rusher...thats a damn robbery...i got to be missing something here

I though so too but I haven't seen anything to the contrary. Everything I read outlines exactly what the story I linked outlines.

i can't believe in 3 years we can walk away and have only spent $17 mil...that's just crazy to me...hell of a deal for us

Well yes and no, look the rest of this list that needs to be resigned, there is a **** load of work to do by the front office, even if you let guys walk you still have to replace them. Wake is a deal and a half but man there are a lot of players in need of new contracts in the next two years!
 
I think a lot of those players will be gone.

Bush has impressed me both on the field and off the field.

He is a well spoken guy, when we were losing he said all the right things. He did all the right things on the field as well. He is made for the west coast offense. Not sure that the back from UM is even close to being the same calibre of player as he is
 
If he has a similar season to last year's or better I don't see how the fins could justify just letting him walk, especially with all that cap space. I think Ireland will pay him fairly, i hope he isn't expecting anywhere in the area code of Peterson of Chris Johnson money with how those 2 situations have turned out.

The extension is actually $17 million over 2 years. People forget that he was still under contract this year for $650K. The new contract he received doesnt actually start until 2013. Ben Volin's breakdown gives Wake 3 years, including 2012, meaning the extnsion only added 2 years and $17 million to his already existsing contract. I just did my own breakdown and came up with a different number, but it was close to what Volin had.

so his cap hit after this year likely jumps to $8.5 mil next year??? i still think its a great deal for us...i thought for sure he would get more...i guess he didn't want to hold us over the coals...which is refreshing...unlike what drew brees is doing to new orleans
