If you read social media you will hear accolades, disclaimers, and warnings regarding every free agent that is about to hit the market. When it comes to Hightower, it’s no different. Some love the idea of him being a Miami Dolphin and others want nothing to do with him.
Somewhere in between is where Miami should be when it relates to the talented but as you will learn, underachieving linebacker.
First we need to understand the money that will pour out of some teams salary cap for Hightower. The current estimates put Hightower’s floor at around $11 million but free agency is a fickle time for NFL teams and there will always be teams with so much cash to spend that they will throw loads of it at players who are not worth it.
