Free agency has yet to begin, but the Miami Dolphins will need to be active players in the market again this offseason if they want to compete for a Super Bowl in 2023.
At this point, the Dolphins are $12.67 million over the salary cap, so they’ll need to be creative with other management in order to get under and create space to make signings.
With that said, now is a great time to take a look at some of the higher cap hits of players of Miami’s roster for the 2023 season before they start making some of these transactions.
