The Miami Dolphins have restructured contracts for four players, freeing up approximately $2.5 million in salary cap space. Defensive lineman Zach Sieler, right tackle Austin Jackson, tight end Greg Dulcich, and cornerback JuJu Brents had portions of their bonuses and salaries converted to create this extra room. The Dolphins, having exhausted all restructure avenues for the 2026 season, may use the additional funds for potential trades or to acquire free agents as they continue to reshape their roster. This move positions them to be more active in the player market ahead of the NFL Trading Deadline.
