Dolphins left tackle Terron Armstead retired as a practical matter in April. The team made it official today.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins have announced that they placed Armstead on the reserve-retired list.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no coincidence that it happened today. The move spreads the cap consequences over two years.<\/p>\n

The total dead money is $18.548 million. Processing the move after June 1 pushes $10.732 million of the amount into 2026.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins also will be permitted under the CBA to recover more than $7 million in unearned signing-bonus payments previously made to Armstead. If\/when cash is recovered, they will be entitled to a cap credit.<\/p>\n

The Dolphins may have agreed to waive some or all of the repayment obligation when Armstead\u00a0slashed his 2025 base salary from $13.3 million to $1.255 million<\/span>, which allowed the Dolphins to carry a much lower cap number for Armstead while waiting until after June 1 to put him on the reserve-retired list. If he had refused, the Dolphins could have dumped the $13.3 million only by cutting him \u2014 and thereby triggering the full $18.548 million cap charge for 2025.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
