The Miami Dolphins have officially designated a post-June 1 cut, a move that carries massive salary cap implications for the franchise over the next two seasons, per @RapSheet.
According to Ian Rapoport, the designation allows the Dolphins to spread the total cap hit across the current and subsequent league years. The financial impact is significant, with more than $67 million hitting the books this year. The remainder of the nearly $100 million total cap hit will be accounted for next year.
By utilizing the post-June 1 designation, the Miami front office gains the ability to manage the substantial dead money over a longer period rather than absorbing the entire hit at once. While the specific player associated with the transaction was not immediately named in the report, the scale of the financial figure represents a major adjustment to the team's roster and cap health.
