UPDATE 39: According to local reports the Dolphins still have between 18 and 20 million. Around 5 million will be needed for rookies and the Dolphins can also make some roster moves to free additional space if needed.
UPDATE 38: The Dolphins have released LB Kevin Burnett.
UPDATE 37: Dolphins “tweeted” “What a day…More To Come” Likely it for the night although today’s deals have yet to be officially announced.
UPDATE 36: Wheeler contract reportedly 13 mill guaranteed on a 25 million five year deal.
UPDATE 35: Dolphins Sign LB Phillip Wheeler. Kevin Burnett likely gone
UPDATE 34: Wallace deal reportedly now 30 mill guaranted on a five year 60 not 65 million dollar deal. Look for this to be heavily backloaded with that large of a signing bonus.
UPDATE 33: Dolphins showing interest in TE Brandon Meyers
UPDATE 32: Raiders announced they released WR Darrius Heyward-Bey, DB Michael Huff and DE David Tollefson; and re-signed DB Phillip Adams.
UPDATE 31: Dolphins will bring in LB Phillip Wheeler tomorrow for a workout
UPDATE 30: As of 20 minutes ago, the deal for Wallace has not been finalized. Agreed upon but minor language remains.
UPDATE 29: Antoine Winfield released by Vikings to save cap room.
UPDATE 28: Jake Long is seeing his option dwindle. Chicago went with someone else and Rams may not have money.
UPDATE 27: Karlos Dansby Released
UPDATE 26: Jared Cook officially signs with the St. Louis Rams.
UPDATE 25: Darrel Revis trade is still ongoing. Possibly out of AFC entirely as Tampa looks like a player.
UPDATE 24: Wes Welker has not been making much waves in free agency.
UPDATE 23: Ryan Mallett of New England is getting some love from Tampa and Cleveland but no word if Pats want to trade.
UPDATE 22: Ellerbe deal is 5 years for 35 million. Average of 7 per year but base numbers and guaranteed dollars not known.

UPDATE 19: Former Dolphins OG Donald Thomas inks with Colts who also signed Erik Walden.
