Miami Dolphins
Cap Overview
Miami's cap situation is simultaneously the most painful in the league right now and one of the most promising in the near future. The team carries $172.8M in dead money, the highest total in the NFL, and has only $10.3M in current cap room ranked 22nd, with rollover of just $1.2M ranked 29th. Committed salaries sit at $142.0M this season, $138.2M next, and $139.7M in the following year before dropping sharply to $95.1M in year three, so meaningful flexibility does not fully arrive until mid-rebuild. The saving grace is next year's projected cap room of $197.8M, which ranks first in the entire league and opens a genuine spending window. With 38 expiring contracts also on the books, Miami will have significant roster decisions to make, but the combination of that massive projected room and the falling committed number in the later years creates a real path to financial health if the dead money is managed carefully from here.
