I took control of the Miami Dolphins in GM Mode looking to maximize cap space while reshaping the roster through trades and the draft.
The result was one of the most aggressive offseasons yet, completely resetting the roster and creating financial flexibility.
The Big Picture
- Starting Cap Space: $0.8M
- Final Cap Space: $41.0M
- Extensions: 1
- Trades Made: 4
- Free Agents Signed: 6
- Draft Picks: 13
- Overall Grade: A+
This offseason generated over $40M in cap flexibility while adding a massive rookie class.
Extension
Devon Achane
Cap Impact: +$2.5M
Locking up Achane secures a dynamic weapon in the offense.
Trades
Four trades reshaped the roster and added draft capital.
Sent Bradley Chubb to San Francisco
Received: 2026 Pick #127, 2026 Pick #138

Received: 2026 Pick #141
Sent Jordyn Brooks to Denver
Received: 2026 Pick #62

These moves fueled the large draft class and future roster flexibility.
