Miami Dolphins salary cap future as 2022 season set to start

The Miami Dolphins are set up well for the immediate and long-term future. They have key pieces in place now and can easily adjust to keep them.

Overall, the 2023 off-season could be the toughest for Miami. They will need to address cornerback, offensive line, linebacker, and potentially more in the off-season but the overall team will look a lot like this year’s unit.

Miami will be able to add/subtract to the roster as needed with minimal stress on their future. Once Miami is out of the 2023 season they will be in a near-perfect situation to continue building through the draft, free agency, and re-sign/restructure key players as needed.

Miami will have tough decisions on several players over the next three off-seasons but they are not in a position where they have to make bold moves to get those players under contract. It is a testament to the front office including Chris Grier who has been ridiculed by fans over the last several seasons.

Grier has the cap under control and the deals handed out to Armstead, Howard, Ogbah, and Hill are not hurting the franchise. It has taken a long time for the Dolphins to get into a position of financial stability and flexibility for the future.

Now, the Dolphins need to win with the roster they have, build around it, and supplement it when needed. The future for the Dolphins looks good on paper both on the roster and the financials.
