Dolphins get salary cap relief – Miami Dolphins News 6/2/24

The Miami Dolphins got some much needed cap relief yesterday when $18.5 million was freed up due to the release of Xavien Howard, who was designated a post-June 1st cut. So with some freed up money, what can the Dolphins do with it? Perhaps they’ll look into signing a veteran player or perhaps they’ll take care of some of their own players. The talk of the offseason has been Tua Tagovailoa and his contract situation and Jevon Holland is also deserving of a new contract. We can’t forget about the team signing their rookie class either.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
