The Miami Dolphins and linebacker Koa Misi are closing in on a re-structured contract.
The Miami Dolphins have been looking at various ways to create salary cap space this offseason, including releasing players as well as signing other players to re-worked contract extensions. In a move somewhat surprising, both for the players involved and the lack of additional years on the contract, the Dolphins are working on a new contract with linebacker Koa Misi.
First reported by Fox Sports' Alex Marvez, followed by reports from the Miami Herald's Adam Beasley and Barry Jackson, as well as Bleacher Report's Jason Cole, the Dolphins will be keeping Misi with the team for 2016, but should see some salary cap relief in the new deal.
