The Miami Dolphins have officially started the process of "cleaning up" their salary cap situation, according to a report from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
According to @RapSheet, the Dolphins front office is taking the necessary steps to address the team's financial standing as the NFL offseason moves toward the start of the new league year. This "cleanup" typically involves a series of administrative and roster-based maneuvers designed to bring the team into compliance with the NFL’s salary cap requirements while creating room for potential additions.
While the report does not explicitly name specific players involved in the initial wave of moves, these actions often include contract restructures for high-earning veterans or the release of players to mitigate dead cap hits. The Miami front office will likely continue this process throughout the week as they prepare for the opening of the free agency window.
The Dolphins enter the spring with several key financial decisions looming, and this report confirms that the organization is now actively working through its cap sheet. Further details regarding specific roster transactions are expected to follow as the team formalizes its adjustments with the league office.
