Did she? We have one of the worst cap situations in the league.

Because of her we can easily clear cap space.

You are correct. It now appears she did meet with the Lions, but Marvez has now stated she decided to remain with the Dolphins instead of taking the job with the Lions.

Mcduffie81SupporterOur cap situation has been pretty stable since she's been here. I'm glad to have her around.

dolphin25Forum Veteranhave there been any teams ever penalized for the salary cap?

gunn34New MemberWhat I will remember most about her when I hear that name is how she tried to align herself with the people she thought best kept her employeed. She flipped more than a circus artist. If I'm a coach or GM, I wouldn't trust her one bit.

How, by cutting talent?
Is that how we want to have our cap situation be?
Well were in bad shape, but you know if we cut these good players, we wont be in a terrible spot....

You are trying to blame her for something that is not her job.

PerfectTeamForum VeteranLooks like she is staying after all......
Alex Marvez of FOX Sports reported earlier on Thursday that Aponte would be departing Miami for Detroit. Marvez now reports Aponte is staying.

How about the Redskins and Cowboys in the 'uncapped' year ??
Here's a quote:

SEVERITY:
SUMMARY: On September 17, 2004, the league announced that, for the second time in three years, the Denver Broncos were fined nearly a million dollars and would, once again, lose their third-round draft pick because of salary cap violations between 1996 and 1998.

No I'm not. I'm simply saying our cap situation sucks. So how is she great at her job?

You are saying the players need to be released for our cap situation to be good. That is more on the quality of players than what she has done.
Our cap situation isn't bad. In fact, she has done a really good job of creating contracts for the players that her bosses want her to sign.

Her job isn't to find talent. Her job is to make those guys fit under the cap. Because of her, we've been able to sign high priced free agents. Because of her, we can restructure Suh's deal and get more cap space without Suh agreeing to it since its already in his contract.
You're mad at the wrong person.
cuchulainnSupporterSince the new TV deals kicked in, the cap has risen apprx $10M a year and is projected to be over $150M this year. In 2017, it projects to be $160M, 2018 at $170M, 2019 at at $180M, and 2020 at $190M.
The new CBA forces teams to spend 90% of that over 4 years, and this additional spending depletes the FA market as teams keep either their own players or to go after higher priced FAs.
Something to think about in what our team will be doing this year with OV, Miller, etc...
As for the Suh contract: http://www.businessinsider.com/ndamukong-suh-contract-miami-dolphins-2015-3
Of course, there should be an extra $10-$30M in the cap for 2018 and 1019, which had to be a factor in this contract from the start...
YMMV.

With this, in 2018 or 2019 he will probably have to get an extension if we restructure this year.

Exactly, she's quietly one of the biggest back-stabbing snakes in the league. She's a cancer in the organization.

On the nose.
People acting like she's back stabber and not a goddamned one of them knows a single thing that actually happened in that office and if they did, they have no idea if its typical across the league or not....but she's a woman with power...so boom.
She's hot and a helluva capologist!
