What Exactly Is Our Current Cap Situation?

[Butterfrog 2.0]

Does anyone know, or know where to find out? I think we had like 15 mil when the offseason started and we signed a couple guys and traded BM. BM was making something like 10 mil but idk what his cap hit was from trading him, so where do we stand now?

Miami: $14,397,448


Unless there have been some secret restructuring going on, I doubt if this is correct.

that was before FA started, ben volin has been following this pretty closely, right now we roughly have $5 million left which is not good at all, were going to have to restructure some contracts or possibly cut some players if we plan on fitting flynn, anderson, and draft picks, I just dont understand why every year we barely have any capspace.

Did you include the $11 million that opened up when we traded away Brandon Marshall?

I've also read 4-5 million in cap space, so i don't know which one to believe.

trading marshall only freed up $5.8 million

Trading Marshall freed up $5.8 million in cap space, giving the Dolphins approximately $14.4 million to spend. They could dispose of other veterans or restructure current contracts to create more space.

So that should have us just shy of 11ish?

I think Bell has to restructure or will be let go. There are a few other lesser contracts that can be reworked.

Still not NEARLY enough to entice P-Manning to come on board, but it does give us a little spending money for our draft picks and a couple more FA upgrades.

I don't know if the number you posted is correct. At the beginning of free agency there were several teams with almost $50 million in salary cap room, on the page La Confora posted, Denver is the only one with just over $40 million in cap room left.

Wasn't there also a cap hit for trading him too though?

 

[Dolfan4life!]

I saw where BM's contract was basically a series of 1 year deals, so the cap hit of releasing/trading him wouldn't ever be substantial.

my guess is somewhere between "cheese-n-rice" and "wtf". course I could be off by an "oh sh**", but I doubt it.
