    Per Around the NFL's Kevin Patra:


    Miami accumulated the 8th largest carryover figure among the other 32 clubs, netting $9,137,544.

    Every bit helps, right?

    It's close to what had been expected. There had been reports since August that the team should be able to carry over almost 10 million. That's why the alarmists who claimed the team was in cap hell were always wrong, not even taking into account players who would be cut or redone.

    Browns 20 million carryover, sheesh...

    Jacksonville and Oakland with 73 and 72 million dollars of cap space this year. That is insane.

    There is nothing inherently wrong with a team increasing its collectively salary cap commitment by investing in large contracts and placing itself in a disadvantageous salary cap position relative to the other teams in the league, but one would hope that doing so would result in more than 6 wins. As a result of last year’s spending spree, the Dolphins currently rank 4th in Commitment Index and have the 27th most True Cap Space. Fortunately, a decent amount of that True Cap Space can be preserved by releasing players who contributed little in 2015 – and who have low Expected Outcomes – such as Jordan Cameron (35.9%), Greg Jennings (7.0%) and Cameron Wake (6.1%). The Dolphins have a larger spread between Realizable Cap Space and True Cap Space than most teams due to the large base salary guarantee of Ndamukong Suh, which could be converted to a bonus and prorated. However, doing so will only increase his Expected Outcomes later in the contract. The team would be better off executing similar restructures with Mike Pouncey and Ryan Tannehill, who each possess relatively team-friendly contracts to begin with.
