Ndamukong Suh is signing his contract. So… he’s officially a member of the #Dolphins.
The details of Ndamukong Suh’s salary has been released via Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post.
Here’s how it breaks down.
Suh is receiving $114 million with $60 million guaranteed — $25.5 million of that is a signing bonus which is spread out over five years for cap purposes.
So of the guaranteed years, the Dolphins will take a massive $28.6 million cap hit in 2016 but will only have a $6.1 million hit this year.
In 2017 it will be a more manageable $15.1 million.
The cap hits will then rise to $22.1 million and $24.1 million in 2018 and 2019 but neither of those years are guaranteed. The Dolphins could try to restructure at that point.
Base salary:
2015: $985,000 (guaranteed)
2016: $23.5 million (guaranteed)
2017: $10 million (guaranteed)
2018: $17 million (non-guaranteed)
2019: $19 million (non-guaranteed)
2020: $8.36 million (non-guaranteed)
Cap hit:
2015: $6.1 million
2016: $28.6 million
2017: $15.1 million
2018: $22.1 million
2019: $24.1 million
2020: $8.36 million
we cut 7 players
for suh
So some initial thoughts on this
-I'm thinking this helps out Wake, even aging, he should see less double teams. He struggled mightily the last 6 games of the season, and a lot of that was 1 on 1 matchups so we'll see. Make him more of a pass rushing specialist, no more 3 down action
-The line right now consists of Wake, Suh, Mitchell, and OV. Does Hickey and Tannenbaum look for a wider, bigger DT to counter Mitchell's poor play vs. the run last season? After all, he graded out negative 2 years straight now. Obviously Suh helps but still, don't get complacent
-LB now. Does Ellerbe get dumped after June 1? Is the priority finding a starting MLB? Misi isn't that guy.
-What's going on with the secondary? Who will start next to Reshad? Would like to see early picks spent there, if not on a LB
