There aren’t many teams that are more salary cap crunched than the Miami Dolphins heading into the 2025 offseason.
After an 8-9 season left the Dolphins on the outside of the playoffs looking in, Miami is in need of offensive line help and several spots to fill on the defensive side of the ball. But before the Dolphins can think about spending, they’ll have to find ways to clear space just to get under the salary cap.
How far over the Dolphins are won’t be made official until the NFL announces where it’s setting the salary cap for the 2025 league year, which will likely happen later this month. For now, here’s every NFL team’s projected salary cap space (including the Dolphins) according to Over The Cap:
