Kelly: Who are the 10 highest-paid Dolphins in 2021? | Analysis

The Dolphins made some cost-cutting moves this offseason to balance the team’s books, with the goal of making Miami financially fit for the coming seasons.

That meant parting ways with former starters like Kyle Van Noy, Shaq Lawson, Ereck Flowers, Bobby McCain, Ryan Fitzpatrick and Davon Godchaux, and replacing them with more cost-efficient (cheaper) options.

As a result, the Dolphins will enter the 2021 season with only 10 players on the training camp roster who will earn more than $4.5 million in salary and bonuses this season.

Here is a look at the highest-paid Dolphins in 2021 based on their signing bonuses, base salaries and roster, workout and performance bonuses:
