Mario Williams had breakfast with the Dolphins this morning and leaves Miami today, according to ESPN's Josina Anderson, who said yesterday that Williams wants to visit with four or five teams. The Giants are reportedly among them.Regardless of whether they sign Williams or not, one thing is clear: The Dolphins' current $15 million in cap space won't be enough to address myriad needs, plus sign a draft class and have a few million left over to sign a practice squad and have available as a late-summer safety net.

That's why it's vital that the Dolphins execute a restructure with Jordan Cameron to lower his $9.5 million cap number; talks are ongoing. If Olivier Vernon's transition tag is rescinded, or if he signs elsewhere, that will free up another $12.7 million in cap space.

### Feedback we get is that Dolphins players are now fully expecting Ryan Tannehill’s audible powers to increase in a meaningful way and for Adam Gase to be bold and aggressive on offense. We believe he is going to be different from Joe Philbin in terms of risk taking.

### The Dolphins have told people that a player’s character, passion for football and off-field comportment will be an even bigger part of the equation than past years in offseason personnel moves. They don’t want a repeat of the Dion Jordan fiasco.
### Drew Stanton is among those the Dolphins plan to consider for their backup quarterback job. They’ve shown no interest in free agent incumbent Matt Moore.

Nope not at all...

The thing with OV needs to get done one way or another soon so we aren't just in limbo. That 12 mil is a huge number just in the air.

I expect by FA, we will make a few more moves to get more cash. Cameron, Wake- restructures/extensions. Grimes, cut? Mitchell, cut? Hell Dallas Thomas might free up 700k or so. time to trim some fat

I bet ya wherever his offer comes from they wait til we are in a pickle cap wise and then spring it...the way we did our tag holds up money and puts us in a bind...i hope they already have a general idea if they will match or not

If miamis got to wait on a ov offer sheet id bleed us dry holding up our financial resources

Suh got us 15 mil with the restructure greg sved us 4 and i thought we were at 3. Thats around 23 vern is gone im sure we know that. Thats around 35 if we can restructure Cameron, cut Mitchell Jordan (once reinstated) we should be good

It's get better. I believe cutting DT frees up $1.6M. Why he hasn't been cut already is beyond stupifying.

Edit: $1.6M if designated post June 1

I think they see if they can lock up other players first and then pull the tag of OV. That's how I see it playing out, not sure who or how many other players we can bring here that will agree to sign but let's face it OV is going to get an offer above the transition tag that were more than likely not going to match, unless almost every FA turn us down, and even than not sure if we would.

They haven't shown much interest in Matt Moore the last couple of years, then out of nowhere he gets resigned.

I do think that streak breaks this year.
