"The New England Patriots have a lot to be excited about. Their young core of players and new head coach, Mike Vrabel, have led them to a 14-3 record with playoff success, and the potential for more this offseason is very real. The team will be 9th in effective cap space and holds 12 draft picks in the upcoming draft. New England has a lot to be excited about."
"While Tyreek Hill's deal is one they can easily get rid of, Tua Tagovailoa's is not. Releasing him would result in a total penalty of over $140 million, over 47% of next season's projected cap. After the firing of Mike McDaniel, the Dolphins need to find their next head coach, and with former Steeler Mike Tomlin being one of the top names on the market, the Patriots' division rival may have wanted to make a push for him."
The Patriots possess a young core and new head coach Mike Vrabel, compiling a 14-3 record, playoff wins, ninth in effective cap space, and 12 draft picks. The Bills face high pressure with Sean McDermott's job potentially at risk if the team fails to win the AFC. The Jets hold substantial cash and draft capital but still have major roster holes and coaching uncertainty. The Dolphins sit about $25 million over the cap with two players carrying $50M-plus cap hits. Tyreek Hill's contract is more movable than Tua Tagovailoa's, whose release would incur prohibitive dead-money penalties, and Miami's roster and finances make it a poor coaching destination.
