Dolphins’ 12 biggest salary cap hits for the 2024 season

After being officially eliminated last week, the Miami Dolphins are preparing for 2024, and they have a lot of work to do to be compliant with the league’s cap rules before the start of the league year.

According to Over the Cap, the Dolphins currently sit $51.89 million over the projected $242 million salary cap for the 2024 season.

That means they’ll have to release or restructure a number of players that are currently under contract to make their situation more manageable.

Before that, let’s take a look at some of the Dolphins that have the biggest salary cap hits in 2024.
