Locked On Dolphins - Daily Podcast On The Miami Dolphins Kyle Crabbs, Locked On Podcast Network

The Miami Dolphins have not just Tua Tagovailoa looming as a big contract decision in the next year. Between Tua, Jevon Holland and potentially even Jaelan Phillips, Miami has a core of young talent that is going to need new deals sooner or later. But if they want to set the market versus pay the market, they'd need to be first on each. Who are the other players across the league looming as contenders to drive up the price? Can and should Miami beat them to the punch on each?

The Miami Dolphins' salary cap outlook for 2024 has been a primary storyline amid the Dolphins' transition in talent. But when the team must cut to 53 players and add 2 more to their cap total, they're actually looking at the prospect of saving even more against the cap. Here's how.

The need for more depth on the EDGE? The Dolphins just addressed it. The need for another rotational player with a high floor on the defensive interior? The Dolphins just addressed it. Miami's quality of leadership on the defense? Miami just addressed it. The Dolphins' experience within the scheme and playing with Anthony Weaver? The Dolphins just added to it. Calais Campbell brings all of this to Miami 20 years after he suited up in South Florida with the Hurricanes.

Much of the fuss over the Miami Dolphins' approach to this offseason was centered around the restrictive nature of the salary cap. The Dolphins have made some strategic tweaks to their outlook as a result but they still face a number of big contracts to hand out in the months ahead. What does the cap outlook look like for NEXT offseason after the moves of this one?
