Dolphins could have nearly $47 million worth of cap space

The Dolphins have given their fans reason for some degree of hope this year, particularly if quarterback Ryan Tannehill continues to develop.

They’re also in a position where they can offer him more help, and by extension more hope for the fanbase.

According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins could have nearly $47 million worth of salary cap space to use this offseason, if they carry over this year’s unused room (part of which they used to extend Jason Trusnik’s deal through 2014).

Couple that with having five picks in the first 100 selections (via the Brandon Marshall and Vontae Davis trades), and Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland has an opportunity for an extreme makeover.

Of course, they have their own free agents to worry about (with left tackle Jake Long topping that list), but they are positioned to make some substantial moves.

For a team that needs multiple playmakers on offense if they want to give Tannehill an honest chance, it’s a good spot to be in.

WOW Better not let Bowe hit the Market

Sweet they can sign Cassel after he is cut.

The ONLY thing I have a problem with is the seeming need to use Twitter to one-up Marty and other guys that have real sources.

It's one thing to post a tweet from Adam Schefter, it's another thing altogether to post Schefter's ANSWERS to leading questions you've sent him on Twitter.

This. Add in trolling royals threads though.

Can't wait for the new league salary cap figures come out so we can finally hear from Chunt. He'll be saying how the number is wrong and there is actually less than what the NFL reports. I think all these professional teams that have county and state tax monies used to help support the team should have access to the teams books to see what they actually make. Big money corrupts
