After the June cap space was cleared, then came the signings in the rookie class for the Miami Dolphins.<\/p>\n
The Dolphins signed 10 of their 13 draft picks, the team announced Tuesday evening, after receiving $21.098 million in cap space<\/a> from the February and March releases of edge defender Bradley Chubb and quarterback Tua Tagovailoa with a post-June 1 designation.<\/p>\n Miami\u2019s rookies signed, with draft round: linebacker Jacob Rodriguez (2nd), wide receiver Caleb Douglas (3rd), tight end Will Kacmarek (3rd), wide receiver Chris Bell (3rd), linebacker\/edge defender Trey Moore (4th), linebacker Kyle Louis (4th), safety Michael Taaffe (5th), wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. (5th), guard DJ Campbell (6th) and edge defender Max Llewellyn (7th).<\/p>\n That leaves the Dolphins\u2019 two first-round picks, offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor and cornerback Chris Johnson, and fifth-round-draft tight end Seydou Traore as the three remaining unsigned picks.<\/p>\n The Dolphins were expected to immediately sign members of their rookie class once the cap relief from their post-June 1 cuts hit their books.<\/p>\n NFL rookie contracts generally abide by the league\u2019s rookie wage scale, with essentially a designated price for each pick.<\/p>\n The total value of the four-year rookie deals for the 10 signed players are as follows: Rodriguez (No. 43) $11,606,940; Douglas (75) $7,168,524; Kacmarek (87) $6,849,498; Bell (94) $6,771130; Moore (130) $5,287,378; Louis (138) $5,034,050; Taaffe (158) $4,740,821; Coleman (177) $4,624,478; Campbell (200) $4,517,649; Llewellyn (238) $4,378,563.<\/p>\n The slot value for Proctor, the No. 12 pick, is $26,120,482. For Johnson, drafted 27th, it\u2019s $19,040,710. Traore, at No. 180, has his at $4,624,478.<\/p>\n On top of the rookie class, Miami added an outside free agent earlier Tuesday, wide receiver Jalen Reagor<\/a>, a former first-round pick in 2020 of the Philadelphia Eagles.<\/p>\n
