Dolphins Set to Spend Nearly Half of Cap on Former Players

The Miami Dolphins are projected to spend about 48% of their 2026 salary cap on players no longer on the roster, totaling roughly $144 million in dead money. The biggest hit comes from releasing Tua Tagovailoa, which created an NFL-record $99.2 million charge. Additional dead cap includes money tied to Tyreek Hill and Jalen Ramsey.
