The Miami Dolphins are officially pulled out of the bottom ranks of the league in salary cap space, as of today.<\/p>\n

For the first time all offseason, the Miami Dolphins have climbed out of the cellar with their salary cap situation. It\u2019s been a grueling couple of months for accounting, there\u2019s no doubt about that. <\/p>\n

Miami hasn\u2019t been ranked 32nd since March, but they have been lingering among the bottom few teams in the league in the way of spending power. Such is life when you eject names like Bradley Chubb, Tyreek Hill<\/a>, Tua Tagovailoa<\/a>, Jaylen Waddle<\/a>, and others. But today is a big day. It\u2019s June 1st, which means at the end of the business day today, Miami is set to get some significant reinforcements in cap space. That it will actually pull them into the top-half of the league in cap space. Temporarily.<\/p>\n

OverTheCap.com<\/a> has already applied every team\u2019s June 1st adjustments to their salary cap outlook. The Miami Dolphins now rank 16th in the NFL in cap space. Per the cap resource, Miami sits with $20,163,376 in total spending power. Salary cap space doesn\u2019t win you football games and the Dolphins\u2019 2026 season is still a daunting outlook. <\/p>\n

But this is a monumental moment nonetheless. Because this team\u2019s hyper-aggressive reset has now, officially, put the hardest chapter behind them. When the cap space officially triggers this afternoon, it\u2019s a reasonable bet that it will be YEARS before this team is within $2 million of the salary cap ceiling again. Injuries throughout the 2026 season could push the Dolphins<\/a> close against the cap after extensions and rookie signings. But a devastating backlog of debt? <\/p>\n

Not for a while. So smile and take one last look in the rear view mirror at the Miami Dolphins\u2019 great salary cap crunch of Spring, 2026. It\u2019s behind us for good.<\/p>\n
