Miami Dolphins have continued their.
2:36
Recalibration: And reformation of
2:38
their office or with another
2:40
handful of moves to pair
2:42
along with what has been
2:44
a relatively. Busy. If
2:47
not heavy hitting. First couple
2:50
of days of the Lee County you're in
2:52
the legal tapering period which of course is
2:54
now closed because the leak outta yer Opened
2:56
yesterday for com. Or
2:58
the Dolphins formalizing a number of
3:00
contracts getting John Smith not just
3:02
under contract, but that and and
3:04
he was, of course cut so
3:07
he could sign earlier than the
3:09
start of the league year. He
3:11
had his introductory press conference yesterday
3:13
v a zoom with the South
3:15
Florida media and Miami has continued
3:17
to church. And.
3:19
I think there's a couple interesting story lines one
3:21
for Neville Gala more. And one
3:24
for Surat Neil from the Buffalo Bills who
3:26
has com as a defensive back. To.
3:28
Miami and agree to his contract as
3:30
well. He visited yesterday and signed. On.
3:33
The dotted line. But.
3:35
Let's start with never Got More. Never
3:37
gala More is a defensive tackle from
3:39
the University of Oklahoma. Who. Played
3:41
his first four seasons in the Fo the Dallas
3:43
Cowboys. Never really took
3:46
the lead to be the player that
3:48
she thought he might be capable of
3:50
being. Based. Off of
3:52
his college tape it Oklahoma. When he
3:55
played it Oklahoma he was. A.
3:57
Little bit of a missile line player.
3:59
played little out of position. Played.
4:01
A lot head up over top of the center in.
4:04
The. Dropping the defense's of the
4:06
Big twelve. And
4:08
you knew there was potential for him to be
4:10
a penetration style player. And
4:12
in reality, it really hasn't. Changed.
4:16
Since he's gotten said to Dallas is been
4:19
a player who last season in the final
4:21
your his contract mugged a career high pressures
4:23
with. Twelve Thirteen
4:26
Pressures. Are. But he only played
4:28
two hundred and eighty nine total snacks. Defensively,
4:31
Last sees. You. Have
4:33
acted previous season. Before that? Twenty
4:35
twenty two. He played four hundred
4:37
one snaps on the defensive line.
4:40
And four hundred to snaps on defense
4:42
as a whole in twenty one. Hundred.
4:44
Sixty Four total snaps. and then in
4:46
twenty Twenty Four Hundred and nineteen. So
4:48
it's kind of in these ebbs and
4:50
flows with usage and utilization for Neville
4:52
gal more good athletes, Bit.
4:55
Undersized for a Dallas has frequently tried
4:57
to play him. Never.
4:59
Really made the leap as a pass rusher. And.
5:03
Now he comes to Miami as the
5:05
latest addition. To. What has
5:07
been a. Overhauled.
5:10
Depth Units. You know this this time
5:12
for the start of the Twenty Twenty
5:14
Three season. It was Christian
5:17
Wilkins, Zach, Sealer, Rake One Davis. The.
5:19
Sean hand. And
5:21
that was it. Like brain appeal. He was
5:23
the next name in line for the dolphins
5:25
and what they've done. sense that the end
5:27
the season. With. The schematic
5:29
scenes were expecting. As
5:32
a a Mac Viviane Nixon. Neville
5:35
Gala more young guys with body types that
5:37
might be a fit for certain roles up
5:39
front. They're. Bringing these guys It. I.
5:42
Think the most interesting thing about Neville
5:44
Gala more. Is
5:47
not necessarily the scheme fit because he
5:49
he it has been a rotational player.
5:52
And I think your expectations should be aligned accordingly.
5:54
I don't think is uploads gonna come in here
5:56
and be a bonafide. Started off. Aaron
6:01
Wilson. On. X.
6:04
Or Twitter reported the terms of
6:06
the deal. Dolphin. Still front
6:08
of a gallon or one year. One. Point
6:10
Seven Nine million dollars Fully
6:12
guaranteed sorts of fully guaranteed
6:15
contract. With. A six
6:17
hundred sixty five thousand dollar signing bonus. Here's.
6:22
What? Catches. My eye. About
6:24
a one point seven, nine million dollar four yards.
6:26
he control the side of the fact that the
6:28
dollars are fully guaranteed. This. Is
6:31
not an insignificant dollar
6:33
amounts. And. I've already posted this on
6:35
X, so apologies if you've you've been on twitter. And.
6:38
Although I keep in bali back and forth between X
6:40
and Twitter, it's where. My. Friend
6:42
I posted this on Twitter with the snippet. From.
6:45
The collective Bargaining Agreement. In
6:47
Twenty Twenty. Which. Is the
6:49
most recent Nfl Quickly Bharti Ribbon
6:52
pursuant to. Compensatory.
6:54
Picks. Notwithstanding,
6:58
Anything to the contrary? An article Six,
7:00
or this appendix. On.
7:03
Restricted free agent who signs of
7:05
one your Nfl player Contractor provides
7:07
a maximum of one point. Seven
7:09
five million shall not be a
7:11
compensatory free agent A they are
7:13
excluded from expense to reform. Is
7:15
is as of twenty twenty, so bear with. Our
7:18
the signing club must notify Nfl Management
7:20
council upon execution of the contract. That.
7:23
The players being designated as an excluded
7:25
unrestricted free agent. The.
7:27
Above stated maximum of one point Seven
7:29
Five million dollars shall apply to the
7:31
Twenty Twenty and Twenty Twenty One League
7:34
years and thereafter shall increased by twenty
7:36
thousand dollars on a by annual basis.
7:39
As an example, the maximum during the Twenty Twenty
7:41
Two and Twenty Twenty Three league years. Shall.
7:43
Be one point seven, seven
7:45
million dollars. Which. Would
7:48
mean. By.
7:50
Annual basis it last one up and twenty twenty
7:52
two. Your now and twenty twenty four he
7:54
goes up another twenty thousand dollars. Which.
7:57
Means the minimum threshold for a contract on a
7:59
one year deal. For. An unrestricted free
8:01
agent who was not combine opposing team. To.
8:04
Be designated as exempt from the compensatory
8:06
pick formula. Is. A one year,
8:08
one point seven, nine million dollar contract.
8:13
Clear. As day. This
8:16
is the intent in part of the planet the
8:18
dolphins. Aussie. They. Are gaming
8:20
The system. And.
8:23
The you have a fully guaranteed contract for
8:25
one point seven nine million dollars as the
8:27
maximum amount. That. You
8:29
could give while still designated player.
8:32
As. An exempt free agent. And.
8:37
It's is a part of my me
8:40
strategy. Their can a shotgun shelling. Getting
8:42
as many young guys in here I'm
8:44
sure that's gonna correlate with some kind
8:47
of investment. Have a meaningful and vessel
8:49
where there's an early draft selection or
8:51
it's somebody ah posts first. I'm
8:53
sure they're not done that I'd I'm sure they're not
8:55
going to look at Isaiah Mack. And. Avionics
8:58
In and Neville gala more alongside Zack's
9:00
You and say we're going to Go.
9:03
But. I'll be honest, I like every single one of
9:05
those options more. And brain and pili. And.
9:09
Probably the shorthand. The.
9:13
Kind of set the the level of
9:15
expectation that I have for Neville Gala
9:17
More and De Leon next in any
9:20
kind of this infusion of young players
9:22
that Miami's going to try to through
9:24
competition. Breed. Some death on the
9:26
defensive. The
9:29
most interesting thing for me for Neville
9:31
is not the player profile. It's
9:34
the strategy behind the contract. That.
9:36
Tells you what the dolphins intent is
9:38
right now. And. As
9:41
a reminder, because compensatory picks are there complicated
9:43
will do a whole show morning. When.
9:45
He gets through this first wave of free agency. The.
9:49
Com Head story window runs from
9:51
now. For. Yesterday. Through
9:55
the Monday after the Nfl
9:57
draft. For. Players who
9:59
were expire. In contracts. And.
10:01
Not cut from their previous contract
10:03
with Unity. Surround.
10:06
Neil. Was. Cut from his previous
10:09
team. Which. Is the Buffalo Bills. were
10:11
going to get into that next year on
10:13

12:02
around meal or the other. new.
12:05
Miami. Dolphins. And
12:07
this one. It's
12:11
a little bit of a story of the player.
12:14
But it's also a little bit of a a
12:17
story with the strategy of the team as well.
12:19
So let's start with surround the other players around
12:21
or was drafted in the fifth round by the
12:23
Buffalo Bills and two thousand and eighteen. I.
12:26
Had a Jacksonville State. He's.
12:28
Gonna be thirty years old in August. Your.
12:32
Expectations to be aligned accordingly are
12:34
the supply who this past season
12:36
for Buffalo played forty five snaps
12:38
on defense. He. Also play
12:40
three hundred thirty something stance on specialties.
12:43
In Twenty Twenty Two, just a while back,
12:45
another year. Or you had to
12:47
snaps it free. Safety you had for snaps
12:50
as a wide corner. You. Had one
12:52
snap on the line of scrimmage. you
12:54
had sixteen stamps in the box, and
12:56
you had forty five snaps in the
12:58
nickel. The vast majority of those snaps
13:00
came in week five. Replay.
13:03
Twenty three snaps in the vehicle and and additional snaps
13:05
on these are. No. Other
13:07
game the rest of the season, he played more than
13:09
twelve snaps their only two the to play doubles. He
13:11
snaps defensively. But. He.
13:13
Played over three hundred and twenty snaps. Or.
13:16
Specialties So this is a score special
13:18
teams type of player. In
13:20
Surat. Neil. He's big,
13:23
He's. Physical. Or. He's
13:25
not the fastest guy, but he's
13:27
gonna make his hey a million
13:29
percent with covering kicks. On kick.
13:32
Coverage when kick return on punt
13:34
Coverage on Pa returned when you
13:36
talk about core. For. Course
13:38
Special Teams players. Both.
13:40
Kicked Game and Kick coverage. Would.
13:43
Kick off and point. This.
13:45
Is an investment in that type of
13:47
player. And that's where the
13:49
story lies for me as it pertains to sir on you.
13:52
Because my any. The.
13:54
Past few seasons. Has
13:57
had. Gaps. Players.
13:59
Get. Elevated into higher roles
14:01
within the defense. And. It
14:04
is hurt the kick coverage unit.
14:06
but I think when you reflect
14:08
on the roster composition that Miami
14:10
has assembled. A
14:13
last few years at least. It
14:15
has felt as though. They're
14:19
retention of players has been
14:21
more focused. On
14:25
the offensive and defensive units and if
14:28
this is. Danny.
14:30
Cross mins. Oh.
14:33
Bernie Sanders meme. I'm once
14:35
again asking. They.
14:38
Retained and Danny Crossman.
14:41
And one would presume. The
14:43
Danny Crossman. His
14:45
argument is once again my take
14:47
cover my cupboards guys are made
14:49
my special teams players. End
14:52
up playing too much on offense or defense
14:54
and. Then you have changed.
14:56
And change is where things air and
14:58
go off the rails. Signing.
15:01
A player like Sir Ronnie or who's one
15:03
of the more accomplished special teams players in
15:06
all of football. I as far
15:08
as the. Resume
15:10
that he has grief from south and
15:12
the Dolphins social account has already pump
15:15
it up. An hour ago was me
15:17
recording this put out career stats on
15:19
special teams with the caption the Special
15:21
Teams Ace. Twelfth. In the Nfl
15:23
in special teams tackles in two thousand and
15:25
eighteen first in the Nfl, and forced fumbles
15:27
on special teams since two thousand and eighty.
15:32
Miami. Getting this kind of player. Are.
15:35
You going on? Out Advocate Ori Are
15:37
you going to allocate a few more
15:39
spots on your fifty three? Four.
15:41
Designated special teams players.
15:44
If that's the case, Because.
15:47
A couple different position groups across the roster
15:49
from last year were you may see lower
15:51
numbers. Quarterback. Might be one
15:53
of them. He. Carry
15:55
three quarterbacks all season. After
15:58
the progress that will show and then what would
16:00
the emergency quarterback rules for? He can dress a
16:03
third quarter back on game. Davies off the practice
16:05
squad. At. A
16:07
whole strategic conversation to
16:09
be had. To
16:12
carry this many running backs. Vs.
16:14
Adding another tight end who's a
16:16
core special teams player. Surround.
16:19
Neil being added to the defensive backfield. The
16:22
intention not be first around you'll to ever place
16:24
now zones that or on defects. He
16:26
should be a special teams player. And.
16:29
You're going to allocate more of those kinds
16:31
of players. Look Clean says he was one
16:33
of those kinds of players are hated devalued
16:35
contract. Who's.
16:38
The tight end see think harder they got from
16:40
the Bangles. Was. One of those kinds
16:42
of players and I hated the contract. So.
16:45
We'll see what the? I don't believe
16:47
the Serrano Neil. Numbers are
16:49
in. Which. Is a nice segue
16:52
to what we are continuing to wait on. Ah,
16:54
We're trying to figure out a number
16:56
of things as it pertains to the.
17:00
Salary. Cap. And where
17:02
the dolphins are at. But
17:06
sir, I kneel. On
17:08
a one year contract we don't know the the
17:10
lead terms as of. The. Time
17:12
of this recording. Is. Can
17:15
be assassinating contract to know okay your side
17:17
with the it's had to being a special
17:19
teams were just in Bethel was kind of
17:21
that player last year. But. Lo and.
17:24
To Ramsey gets her and guess who's the
17:27
dying player And and through week three and
17:29
four ends up being the nickel player until
17:31
they flip back as Vic got tired of
17:33
it. Just. In Bethel was
17:35
your your time and a nickel player.
17:39
So. Just another example of a
17:42
primary special teams player. Getting.
17:44
Put into elevated positions on the unit.
17:46
That is not what he's there to
17:48
do. So.
17:51
How do you alleviate some of that? By.
17:53
Investing in a few core special teams
17:55
tie players and this is presumably a
17:57
step in that direction now. Did.
18:00
Anyone injuries and what else they choose to
18:02
allocate They may find surrounding on the same
18:04
spot that these other guys have been in
18:06
the past few years. And if that's the
18:08
case Weldon, we can be disappointing. Special Teams
18:10
Oliver. I think it's
18:13
very telling. That the intent.
18:16
Is. A kick coverage. Player:
18:18
And special teams specialist. Mit
18:21
without a doubt. We'll.
18:24
See if that trend continues as well
18:26
at the expense of some other spots.
18:28
On. The Fifty Three: When we get into the summer
18:31
and have a better idea of what that he
18:33
could potentially end up looking like, we're going to

20:59
I am just a boy standing in
21:01
front of the
21:04
cap websites asking
21:07
for them to love me by giving me
21:09
Toronto Arms Fits Restructure contract details. That
21:12
is I must check five
21:14
times a day and I know
21:16
there's a bunch of you who love the
21:18
Dolphins who quite frankly could
21:20
not give two hoots about
21:23
Toronto Arms Fits cap situation and
21:25
his restructured contract but
21:27
it is done. They reworked this
21:29
contract they adjusted the contract
21:32
and yet all of our cap
21:35
resources spot track or the cap they all
21:37
do outstanding work no
21:39
matter where you look the Dolphins are
21:41
listed in about a million dollars in cap space with
21:44
several players under contract or
21:47
agreeing to terms but maybe not officially signing
21:49
contracts that are not reflected in
21:51
the table but the Toronto
21:53
Arms said reworked contract is also not
21:55
available on the table so
21:57
I'm sitting here wondering Toronto Arms
22:00
Armstead was owed a
22:02
$13.25 million guaranteed salary, eight
22:08
and a quarter of that guarantees
22:10
on March 16th. So in
22:12
two days, he already
22:15
had the other 5% guaranteed coming
22:17
into the season. He's carrying a
22:19
$20.8 million cap hit, but
22:22
it's been readjusted. What
22:26
kind of space and savings did they get?
22:28
And more importantly, how did they get it?
22:32
What did they do to this contract? Did they
22:34
move money? Did
22:36
they change the salary? I
22:38
have a hard time envisioning Terron
22:40
Armstead just gave money back.
22:43
Did they do what they did with Cedric Wilson's contract,
22:45
which was tear up the last year of the deal,
22:47
put it on a void year on the back end
22:49
of it? And this is it for Terron Armstead? Did
22:51
they help out after this year as
22:53
an expiring player? Did
22:57
they finagle knowing, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, that
22:59
this is it for Terron Armstead? This is
23:01
the last go round. We're going to retire
23:03
after this. So we are going to put
23:05
funny money in here to just redistribute the
23:08
funds. And if Terron
23:10
reaches a certain threshold, he'll get the bonus as a thank
23:12
you and exit on the way out. They will get added
23:14
to the 2025 cap. I
23:17
don't know. And that's the problem. I want to
23:19
know because I'm
23:21
a total geek for this kind of stuff. As much as
23:23
I am getting up in the chair, I'm getting on top
23:25
of the microphone here. As much as
23:27
I joke about not being a math guy, a
23:31
lot of this is the strategy elements
23:35
of the off season that I find
23:37
the most fascinating because there's
23:39
interest for the player. There's interest for
23:42
the team. There's different avenues to take.
23:45
There's the PR element of it. There's the
23:49
politics of it, all of it. And
23:52
I'm not suggesting that specifically for
23:54
Terron Armstead. That's every contract negotiation
23:57
for every player in the league. And
24:00
how you balance all of that is
24:02
one of my favorite elements of this
24:04
time of year. And
24:07
we do not have it. I'm
24:09
waiting for it. We
24:11
don't have the details and I literally just
24:13
pull it up right now. It's
24:15
11 o'clock on Thursday. I don't
24:17
have it there either. But
24:19
we did get some other contracts that have
24:22
come in, including, including Jordan Brooks, we got
24:24
this contract. And here's what I can tell
24:26
you about Jordan Brooks and
24:28
his salary cap implications.
24:32
He signed a deal. The base value of the
24:34
contract was an average of $8.75 million per season,
24:38
three years, $26.25 million. He
24:42
got a signing bonus
24:44
of $8 million in change. And
24:47
then he got an additional fully
24:49
guaranteed of $9.5 million. So
24:52
it's about $16 million in
24:55
guaranteed money on this contract. It
24:59
is a two year commitment for Jordan Brooks.
25:03
His salary cap number for year one is $3.9
25:06
million. His
25:09
salary cap hits for year two and year three. He
25:13
will collect $7.8 million
25:16
in base salary in each of those two seasons.
25:19
And he will collect a,
25:22
he will be on the books for a salary cap
25:24
hit of $11.1 million against
25:27
the cap in each of those two seasons. If things go
25:29
well for Jordan Brooks, you
25:32
can pretend that's a potential restructure candidate.
25:34
That's a, if things don't go well,
25:36
that's a potential post-soon first get out
25:39
of contract
25:42
and you could save money against the cap as
25:44
early as 2025. But
25:50
ideally all of your contracts work well. We know that's not
25:52
how it works. But seeing that
25:54
one and seeing Jordan Brooks And his cap
25:56
hit on the books for $3.9 million and knowing that. Jerome
26:00
Baker. Took. A dead cap
26:02
hit for the Dolphins this year. Of.
26:06
Four point nine. Your.
26:09
Allocating about the same amount of money
26:11
towards that linebacker spot that I had
26:13
in the off season blueprint. It's
26:16
just Jordan Brooks. And
26:19
your own baker. Dead money versus reworking drone
26:21
