The move will clear over $19 million from Miami’s cap number.
According to Tom Pelissero — an NFL Network insider — the Miami Dolphins have restructured the contract for All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey. The conversion will clear $19.912 million in cap space for the South Florida franchise — money badly needed for the Dolphins to become cap compliant ahead of Wednesday’s official start to free agency — which is also the start of the new league year.
The Dolphins could soon do the same with other big contract players including wide receiver Tyreek Hill, EDGE defender Bradley Chubb, and defensive tackle Zach Sieler to name a few. As it stands, Miami is still roughly $4 million over the cap — without knowing the Terron Armstead numbers after a reported adjustment was agreed upon by the team and the former All-Pro lineman.
