Dolphins get cap compliant after Jaylen Waddle trade with savvy De’Von Achane move

The trade that sent Jaylen Waddle to the Broncos made a lot of sense for the Miami Dolphins, but it forced the team to go over the NFL salary cap. That in turn put Jon-Eric Sullivan in a position to clear space.

The trade didn't become official until Thursday, after Waddle passed his physical, which put Miami over the cap limit. So how did Miami make the space? Sullivan had to get creative again, and this time he dipped into De'Von Achane's and Aaron Brewer's salaries.

Both players are likely to receive extensions this offseason.
