The Dolphins will need to pay Mike Wallace 17.25 million next year, OUCH
While the Dolphins search for a new GM, one reason they might not be able to find a good person is because of their cap hits next year. While they still have money to spend, they have a huge price tag for a guy that really did not perform well. Then when you add in that your back up quarterback is scheduled to make 5.5 million, maybe there are some bigger decisions than we know about?
Here are the 10 most expensive players for Miami in 2014:
| Player | ’14 Cap Charge |
|---|---|
| 1. WR Mike Wallace | $17.25M |
| 2. LB Dannell Ellerbe | $7.425M |
| 3. De Cameron Wake | $7.285M |
| 4. LB Philip Wheeler | $6.4M |
| 5. WR Brian Hartline | $6.21M |
| 6. QB Matt Moore | $5.5M |
| 7. CB Dimitri Patterson | $5.4M |
| 8. DE Dion Jordan | $4.676M |
| 9. WR Brandon Gibson | $3.735M |
| 10. S Reshad Jones | $3.61M |
