The Miami Dolphins have spent quite a bit of money since the start of the offseason between re-signing their free agents, signing others, and trading for/extending wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
With all of these moves, the Dolphins needed to re-work some of their existing contracts to give them some wiggle room.
On Friday, ESPN’s Field Yates reported that Miami converted part of cornerback Byron Jones’ salary into a bonus as well as re-worked Clayton Fejedelem’s contract as well.
The conversion for Jones creates $10.694 million in cap space for the Dolphins, and Fejedelem’s re-working adds another $750,000.
According to Over the Cap, before these restructures Miami had $3.65 million remaining this season, however, that number didn’t include Terron Armstead or Sheldrick Redwine’s contracts.
