As the free agency period creeps closer to starting, March 9th, the Dolphins are examining their roster needs and exploring the landscape of a market that will likely inflate in annual salary with the recent $10 million increase in salary cap per team.
The Dolphins have a cap of around $174 million after adding the 2016 carry over to the league wide $167 million cap. They could add another $10 million in space, currently around $45 million by releasing players such as Dion Jordan and Koa Misi.
With each release however a hole is made although Misi was absent last season with a career threatening neck injury and Dion Jordan is, well, taking up breathing space on the roster.
