Dolphins restructure four contracts to become cap compliant

Dolphins create a ton of cap space by restructuring four contracts given out in the last two seasons.

The Miami Dolphins have been quite active in recent days, as they try to get cap-compliant by the start of the new league year, and they continued that trend on Monday.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the Dolphins have restructured the contracts of cornerback Jalen Ramsey, Zach Sieler, Alec Ingold and Durham Smythe, freeing up roughly $28.78 million in cap space.

Prior to the agreed signing of linebacker Anthony Walker Jr. on Monday evening, Miami was roughly $25 million over the salary cap, according to Over the Cap. So, they should be compliant now, but they’ll need to make more moves if they want to sign any free agents.

Ramsey, 29, was traded to the Dolphins last offseason, and the two sides immediately agreed to an adjusted contract. The cornerback missed a good portion of the 2023 season due to a meniscus injury that he suffered in just his second training camp session, but he came back looking as sharp as ever.

Sieler, 28, signed an extension last offseason and repaid Miami by putting up his best season to date, which included playing in every game for the fourth straight season and recording 10 sacks.

Ingold, 27, also received an extension last August before making the Pro Bowl for the first time in his career and helping the Dolphins have one of the best rushing attacks in the NFL.

Smythe, 28, received a new two-year contract in 2022 and was asked to be the team’s top tight end in 2023 for the first time. He had his best season statistically (35 receptions for 366 yards were both career highs), but he failed to find the end zone.

Dolphins produce incredible video on Alec Ingold’s story

The Walter Payton of the Man nominee has been an inspiration.

The Miami Dolphins have a number of players who have done incredible work off of the field and have a great personal story, and fullback Alec Ingold is one of the leaders in both of those categories.

Ingold has become an inspiration for his teammates, like Raheem Mostert, and coaches, like Eric Studesville, who look up to the way he works each and every day.

On top of the impressive plays that Ingold makes week in and week out on the field, he does great work with the Ingold Family Foundation. All of that has led to his nomination for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award.

Before the award is given out on Thursday night, the Dolphins put together a nice video about his story.

Ingold is a shining light in South Florida, and if the Dolphins can add more players like him to their locker room, they’d be extremely lucky.

How each Dolphin did in their events in the 2024 Pro Bowl Games.

While every NFL fan is waiting for the Super Bowl next week in Las Vegas, Nevada, the league held its second annual Pro Bowl Games in Orlando, Florida.

Superstars from around the league took the field at Camping World Stadium to take part in various events between Thursday and Sunday, including the flag football game.

Six players represented the Miami Dolphins throughout the weekend – Tua Tagovailoa, Raheem Mostert, Alec Ingold, Tyreek Hill, Terron Armstead and Jalen Ramsey.

How dd they all do in their individual and team events?

7 events that Dolphins are participating in during the 2024 Pro Bowl Games

Six Dolphins will participate in seven events for the Pro Bowl Games.

This week, as the NFL world prepares for the Super Bowl battle between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers, the 2024 Pro Bowl Games will be held on Thursday and Sunday.

The Miami Dolphins have six players – Tua Tagovailoa, Raheem Mostert, Alec Ingold, Tyreek Hill, Terron Armstead and Jalen Ramsey – set to participate.

Over those two days, they’ll all compete in various challenges against their peers, with ESPN beginning the broadcast of the Thursday events at 7 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at who will be representing the aqua and orange in each event:

Dolphins react to being eliminated from the playoffs

What players had to say about the loss and their elimination from the playoffs

The Miami Dolphins lost to the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday night 26-7 which ended their 2023 season after just one playoff game.

Mike McDaniel’s team started the year off great, but a collapse against the Tennessee Titans late in the season and three straight losses to end it leaves a sour taste in everyone’s mouths around the organization and fan base.

After the game, McDaniel and a number of players, including quarterback Tua Tagovailoa addressed the loss and the season as a whole.

Tyreek Hill’s Dolphins teammates react to WR’s house fire

A number of Dolphins spoke about the fire at Tyreek Hill’s home.

While Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was putting in the work at the team’s Baptist Health Training Complex across the street from Hard Rock Stadium, his Southwest Ranches home caught on fire.

The fire, which, at one point, was upgraded to a two-alarm fire, according to WSVN, was eventually controlled by firefighters on the scene and no one was hurt.

Hill left practice to meet to deal with the matter, and he was later caught by the news helicopters at his house with his wife and mother.

The rest of his teammates finished out their practice session, but a few of them spoke about the situation afterward. Here’s what they had to say:

Two former Badgers selected to 2023 NFL Pro Bowl roster

Two former Badgers selected to 2024 NFL Pro Bowl roster

The initial 2024 NFL Pro Bowl roster was announced Wednesday and two former Badgers, fullback Alec Ingold and linebacker T.J. Watt were selected.

For Ingold, it marks the first time that he has been chosen for the Pro Bowl, earning the selection after posting 13 catches for 119 yards over the team’s 16 contests so far while also helping lead block for Miami’s formidable rushing attack.

Watt has now been selected for six straight Pro Bowls and through 16 contests in 2023, he’s compiled 60 tackles, including 17.0 sacks, while deflecting eight passes, intercepting another, forcing four fumbles, recovering three fumbles and scoring a touchdown.

Congrats to the latest former Badgers who will appear in the Pro Bowl.

6 Dolphins named to the 2024 Pro Bowl

Here’s who will be representing the Dolphins in the Pro Bowl, provided they’re not playing on Super Bowl Sunday.

The Miami Dolphins have had a number of talented players that have impacted their season in 2023, and six of them have received the honor of being named to the 2024 Pro Bowl Games the week before the Super Bowl.

Miami’s Pro Bowl selections for the year include quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, wide receiver Tyreek Hill, running back Raheem Mostert, fullback Alec Ingold, left tackle Terron Armstead and cornerback Jalen Ramsey.

Tagovailoa (first Pro Bowl selection) currently leads the league in completion percentage (69.6%) and passing yards (4,451). He’s also set a career-high in touchdowns (28) while playing in 16 games so far this season.

Mostert (first Pro Bowl selection) rushed for 1,000 yards for the first time in his career this year. He’s also found the end zone a remarkable 21 total times which leads the NFL and is a Dolphins single-season record. He also leads the NFL and set a franchise record for rushing touchdowns this year (18).

Hill (eighth Pro Bowl selection), while he may fall short of his 2,000-yard goal, has been exceptional. He’s recorded a league-leading 1,717 yards this year (a Dolphins single-season record and career-high) and 12 touchdowns on 112 receptions (eight off of breaking the franchise single-season record he set last year).

Ingold (first Pro Bowl selection) has helped Miami become one of the top rushing offenses in the league, as they’ve averaged 137.5 yards on the ground per game (fifth-most in the NFL). He’s also totaled 119 yards on 13 receptions.

Armstead (fifth Pro Bowl selection) hasn’t been on the field for every game, but he’s absolutely been an integral part of a unit that’s been one of the NFL’s best despite injuries everywhere. In his nine games in 2023, he’s graded as the third-best tackle by Pro Football Focus (84.9).

Ramsey (seventh Pro Bowl selection) battled back from a torn meniscus in training camp to return to action for the Dolphins’ Week 8 matchup with the New England Patriots. Since then, the whole defense has looked much better. In his nine games, he’s recorded 18 tackles, five passes defensed and three interceptions. He’s also allowed a career-low 44.8 passer rating against.

It’s a great honor for these players to be selected to the Pro Bowl, but the Dolphins are hoping they’re busy planning for the Super Bowl during that weekend.

Best moments from fourth episode of Dolphins ‘Hard Knocks’

Here’s what we saw in the fourth episode of “Hard Knocks.”

The Miami Dolphins have been on a roll in 2023, but they dropped their Monday night game against the Tennessee Titans to fall to 9-4 through the first 14 weeks of the season.

And, now, they have even more attention on them, as they’re the focus of this year’s edition of the in-season version of “Hard Knocks” on HBO and Max.

The fourth episode of the season aired on Tuesday night with more to follow weekly.

Here are some of the best moments from episode No. 4 (some are NSFW):

WATCH: Dolphins FB Alec Ingold mic’d up vs. Commanders

Miami’s Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year nominee was mic’d up for Sunday’s win.

The Miami Dolphins took on the Washington Commanders on Sunday at FedEx Field, and they walked away with a 45-15 win to improve to 9-3 on the season.

Miami’s offense was dominant in the contest, and fullback and captain Alec Ingold was giving his all on each and every play he was on the field.

Throughout the game, Ingold was mic’d up, so the Dolphins’ content team could get his reactions to plays and hear some of his interactions with teammates and opponents.

The best moment from this week’s segment may have been the fullback trying to get some insight into the coin flip, as the Dolphins have won 10 coin tosses in a row.
