Miami Dolphins lead NFL in dead money
Well, Miami Dolphins fans, you can shout, "We're No. 1" and be accurate.
As you know the Dolphins have used this offseason to remake their roster. The wide receiver room is different. The linebacker room is different. Defensive tackles came (Ndamukong Suh and Jordan Phillps) and went (Jared Odrick, Randy Starks).
But all those moves are not done in a vacuum. Many, such as the trades of Mike Wallace and Dannell Ellerbe, and the cutting of Brian Hartline, Brandon Gibson, Phillip Wheeler and others come with salary cap implications.
And those implications, which include the acceleration of prorated bonuses, are part of the Dolphins offseason story now.
