Everyone is saying..get rid of this player and get rid of that player but the cold reality of the situation is that almost every player is still under contract for 2004.

Unrestricted Free Agents: FB Obafemi Ayanbadejo, CB Terrell Buckley, DE Rob Burnett, S Arturo Freeman, LB Tommy Hendricks, OG Jamie Nails, LS Ed Perry, RB Charlie Rogers, P Matt Turk, OT Todd Wade, S Shawn Wooden.

This won't help Miami revamp and overhaul the roster. They will have to be awfully creative in the offseason. I don't want the Dolphins to dump Madison and still pay his salary for 4 more years (like Daryl Gardener).

I wish all the underacheivers were FA's, but unfortunately we may have to root for the same guys again next year.

Actually, the Gardner hit was $6 for this year. We don't have to pay the salary, just the bonus that was paid out and allowed to be spread out over the length of the contract. DG's contract will not effect the cap in 2004.

Dumping Madison would hurt the cap though!
