Spending flexibility shouldn’t be a problem for the Dolphins this offseason.
We hear they plan to clear out substantial cap space over the next couple of months, and restructuring Ndamukong Suh’s contract is one vehicle that very much appeals to them.
The Dolphins want Suh back next season but plan to lower his $26.1 million cap hit.
The Dolphins could save $12 million in 2018 space by converting that amount into a signing bonus, which would reduce his hit to $14 million but come with future cap consequences down the road. A smaller restructuring is also a possibility.
