Jordyn Brooks

Any team that traded for him was going to have to negotiate a new deal with Brooks, so now that is already done… if the new team agrees to the extension Miami gave him then it is doable.

I believe the new team can choose to take some of the bonus money but I’m not 100% sure about that.

I guess it is possible but in my mind it is highly unlikely to happen…. I’ve been wrong before though.
I believe they'd have to eat the signing bonus and restructure bonus, which means taking a $15 million cap hit instead of a $6 million. I think if they were considering trading him, they would have worked his contract differently so that the cap hit for them would be minimal. For example, using roster bonuses instead of a signing bonus. There were ways to do it to keep the dead hit down for them and push that off on the team that would trade for him. They did not do the contract that way.
 
Miami is now set to pay Brooks $6 million. He has a dead cap hit of $34 million. Now, whoever traded him would assume some of that dead cap money, but still, Miami gave him a $12 million signing bonus and $3-plus million restructure bonus that would accelerate onto its cap.

It only made sense to trade Brooks before the new contract agreement
No, teams that get the player do not get any dead money. That is money that has already been paid to the player.
 
3 years is not a long-term deal. They're in rebuilding mode so in his last year of his deal would be the earliest that miami would be ready to compete and then you would have to sign him again to a much bigger contract. If he was a building block, you sign him to atvleast a 4-yr- preferably 5-yr deal.

Sign and trades happen...this would be similar
It's 4 years. 3 years was the extension.

It's possible that Dallas was only willing to give a day 2 pick for a longer deal if the dolphins took the hit on some of the money keeping the contract around 10 million aav for dallas.
 
He just got an extension and bonus. Why would Miami trade him, if they paid him a bonus, would accelerate into this year and money that won't come back to them.

Broddua is an idiot sometimes
Broadus specifically said the owner is ayin gwho cares if we take the hit. Basically they know they will suck, and if you can get draft capital at the expense of cap hits, he doesnt care. Hardly saying these things uninformed.
 
We have a board full of insiders and NFL GMs. So dang smart and good at their jobs they spend time with us in the zone. :banghead:
