With free agency only a mere 18 days away the Dolphins have to make a lot of decisions especially as they relate to their own impending free agents. Dion Sims is one of those that could soon test the open market.
The Thomas trade would not remove the possibility of Sims making it back on the Dolphins roster but it could make it harder. Most of that will depend on what Miami does with the current contract of Julius Thomas.
Thomas’ contract will put his cap number at $8.3 million in 2017. That number will jump to $9.
