Let the roster construction begin for the Miami Dolphins in their first offseason under new coach Mike McDaniel.
The Dolphins head into free agency this week — with legal negotiations beginning Monday and the official start when free agents can sign on Wednesday, which is also the beginning of the NFL’s new league year — with a tad over $48 million in salary-cap space.
This number, which will decrease with every free agent signed in the coming days but can also be increased by releasing any of a number of players currently under contract, will be used for the Dolphins to upgrade at certain positions, fill holes on the roster and add depth.
