Salary cap 2016

[FTLDOLFAN]

According to overthecap.com the Dolphins are about $14 million under the projected salary cap for next year. Looking at the players salaries and how much we would save by releasing them here is who I feel like will be gone next year.

DE Cameron Wake - Cap number $9.8M - Cap savings of $8.4M - Dead money $1.4M

DB Brent Grimes - Cap number $9.5M - Cap savings $6.5M - Dead money $3M

TE Jordan Cameron - Cap number $9.5M - Cap savings $7.5M - Dead money $2M

WR Greg Jennings - Cap number $5.5M - Cap savings $4M - Dead money $1.5M

OT Jason Fox - Cap number $1.54M - Cap savings $1.38M - Dead money $162K

LS John Denney - Cap number $1.215M - Cap savings $1.115M - Dead money $100K

Thats over $28 million in savings in addition to the $14 million we are already under next years cap that will leave us about $42 million to spend in free agency and the draft so if we are smart we should be able to fill a lot of the needs we have.

[FTLDOLFAN]

Free Agents that might be worth going after next year are.

OG Alex Boone. He is only 28 and one of the better OG's in the NFL.

LT Sam Young. If we keep Albert then we will need a better backup LT than Jason Fox.

FS Tashaun Gipson. He is only 25 and one of the best FS's in the NFL.

TE Ladarius Green. He is only 25 and should be a cheaper option than Cameron if we cut him.

RB Chris Ivory. He is only 27 and we could use a bruising back like him.

Then in the draft we can focus on DE DB MLB and QB.

The under for 2016 is very misleading as there are only 38 players under contract. Fill the roster, add the draft, and we'll be around even give or take a few mil.

The bottom 15 players on the roster are generally minimum salary type players.
