well they have the cap, but don't have the quarterback so this tells us one thing they are trying to impress some free agent QB to come and believe in Cleveland...
Buffalo loading up to trade up in the draft.
Trade Details:
Browns get:
WR Jarvis Landry
Dolphins get:
2018 4th-rd pick
2019 7thh-rd pick
Exactly why. The Fins are in Cap hell and had to trade him. Even after moving him, they are close to $4 million over the cap so they still have to free up at least $10-11 more to get under and sign draft picks.
They gambled that Parker would supplant Landry and didn't negotiate a long term deal earlier so they had no choice now but to let him walk or trade him.
Remember the trade for Robert Quinn isn't on the books. So add $11.5 million .with the trade of Landry the Dolphins are $7,896,828 under cap, expect them to restructure one or two contacts to free up more cash... this is Tanny he knows how to finagle contract terms... if they do indeed part ways with Suh they will have just under $25 M to play with...
remember the trade for robert quinn isn't on the books. So add $11.5 million .
Suh has over 22 million dead money so cutting him doesn't save much this year, a june 1st. Designation drops it to around $9 mill in dead money. That would leave them around $20 million but would also keepp them out of the earlier fa market.
most likely the dolphins will look to also rework quinn’s contract which has two years remaining. There are two options for that. One is a straight line extension which could be pricey but help lower his cap charge this season. Though quinn has not been as effective the last few years as he was in his prime the $10m+ extensions signed by 3[sup]rd[/sup] contract rushers in the last year plus the dolphins tendency to go high on extensions could make that a bad deal long term.
The dolphins could also work out something with ryan tannehill for cap room.
Hopefully we will hear something good by wed if not sooner.either way I don't give ashitabout whether the Dolphins will be able to stay under the cap or be involved in FA... lol just wondering when we will here something exciting for our longassrebuild to start taking shape...
