LB Kyle Van Noy

2021 Cap Hit: $13.9M

Speaking of coming in and changing Miami’s defensive identity overnight, Kyle Van Noy is another 2020 offseason addition who will see a boost in his cap commitments for 2021 after a successful first campaign in Miami. Van Noy showcased his toughness and leadership by playing half the season through a lingering hip injury, one that prompted him at the end of the year to state he played through “a lot of pain”. And yet Van Noy finished a half-sack from his career high, contested more footballs in coverage than in any other season of his career and set a career high in tackles for loss in a single season with 10.

Van Noy does a little bit of everything. And because of that, he’s well worth the cap commitment of two less versatile defenders.
