Hyde: Dolphins have cap room built into Suh's contract

The Miami Dolphins signed defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh to a monster contract this offseason. According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel's Dave Hyde, there may be more salary cap space available in the contract than people realize.

The Miami Dolphins signed free agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh to the richest non-quarterback contract in league history this offseason, giving the All-Pro a 6-year, $114 million deal. Despite every analyst acknowledging before free agency started that Suh would get a record breaking deal, the Dolphins were loudly criticized for giving Suh that much money. Clearly the team would quickly become salary cap strapped and they would be in a fire-sale in the next year or two.
