How it will affect signing our core players 2019/2020

He’s acting like they are going to structure these contacts to take the AAV as a straight cap hit every year when that’s not the case.

Yea, don't get that.

Nick Foles, for example has a 22mil AAV cap hit. This year he's counting 12mil against the cap.

Matt Ryan when he signed his 5yr 150 mil extension had a first year cap hit of 17.7mil and 15.9mil(2019) in year two.

Now of course it means the future cap hits will be inflated, but that's how most contracts are.

we have plenty of money and manuverality to sign all of our guys and make whatever moves we want.

We are in the best cap situation we have been in aisin the cap era.

Gotta not get sucked in here...

 

[ItzKelz]

Does anyone really believe that JJ does not know how to manipulate the cap?

I'm surprised that he's failing to consider the fact that the Dolphins are going to pay a large portion of Quinn's 2019 salary to facilitate this trade. Just like they did when they just traded Ryan Tannehill. Quinn's salary will be cut in half at the very least this year. And as for an extension, Quinn, his agent, and any prospective trade partner know that he's currently being overpaid and those salary numbers have to come down in the future.

Do you really want a guy from a team that is willing to pay half his salary in order to get rid of him?

 

[Beast_from_East]

Dak, Amari, Dlaw, Zeke, and BJones is going to count $90 mill on cap next year?

Seriously?

They are having a fire sale on the roster, dumping all high priced vets so they can tank for Tua.

 

[RamziD]

Tyrone Crawford will more than likely be off the books next year which will add another $9-10M in cap space.

When I know why they're doing it? Yeah, I'm fine with it. It actually presents an opportunity for me that likely wouldn't exist otherwise.

The Dolphins are in full rebuild mode, they're shedding players and contracts. They know they're not going to win with their current roster so they're getting what they can and stocking up in future draft capital and cap space.

If they pay all of Quinn's $12 million salary? Nothing gets carried over.
If they cut Quinn? They get big cap relief, but no draft compensation.
If they trade him and pay part of his contract? They get cap money to carry over, and a draft pick to rebuild.

That's the motivation, and it's the same thing they did with their former starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill.

Tyrone Crawford will more than likely be off the books next year which will add another $9-10M in cap space.

He should be off the books now and add $15 million in cap space.

 

[Stash]

Dak, Amari, Dlaw, Zeke, and BJones is going to count $90 mill on cap next year?

Seriously?

If they're all being paid their contract averages? It would likely be close:
Dak $28-$30 million
Amari $17 million
DLaw $20 million
Zeke $14 million
Jones $15 million

That's like what? About $94 million in total?

 

[JBell]

Seriously?

I don't even think they'd keep Jones to be honest. With the CB whisperer on the staff, shouldn't be hard to replace.

It will not affect any core players. We could absorb his entire contract without dropping a sweat.

 

[StarBoyz83]

Dak, Amari, Dlaw, Zeke, and BJones is going to count $90 mill on cap next year?

Seriously?

All of their hits will be more like 45 mil

If this trade is truly happening , they're working on the exact figures...................Dallas has finally gotten their cap situation where they want it (a very manageable situation) , and they're not going to risk jeopardizing that for 1 situational type player...............................

It might not be a reflection of what they think of the player. They're basically buying a draft pick.

While that may be their average salary, that doesn't mean their cap hit will be that. Most of these contracts nowadays seem to be backloaded in terms of the cap hits. Even if Dak got a contract averaging that much, his first year cap hit could EASILY be almost half of that.
