The Miami Dolphins made several salary cap adjusting moves ahead of the start of free agency this week. How did the moves impact the salary cap - and my story - on Saturday? We take a look.
Last night, I spent about three hours putting together an entire look at the Miami Dolphins' salary cap situation and where the team could save money ahead of the March 9 start to free agency and the enforcement of the 2016 salary cap. At the time I started writing, the Dolphins were $3,598,237 over the cap. As I was working my way player-by-player through the roster, breaking the team into groups of players with negative cap savings by being released, players with no effective savings, and players who would save the team money, as well as potential targets for contract restructuring, the Dolphins went ahead and announced they had made several roster moves that basically made my entire post worthless.
