Miami Dolphins face a record-setting salary cap challenge as Tua Tagovailoa’s contract threatens to reshape the team’s future. Is Miami on the brink of a massive roster overhaul, or will creative cap strategy keep core talent intact? Kyle Crabbs breaks down the intricacies of Tagovailoa’s guarantees, looming dead cap hits, and critical decisions on stars like Tyreek Hill, Bradley Chubb, and Minkah Fitzpatrick. The discussion covers Miami’s options for post-June 1 cuts, the ripple effects of moving on from Hill and Sanders, and the pivotal question: how will the Dolphins balance short-term pain with long-term cap flexibility? Key insights include projected cap space for 2027, potential contract extensions, and why Miami’s rebuild might be less dire than Saints or Browns territory. Can the Dolphins’ front office navigate these challenges and keep playoff hopes alive?
