    I know there's a post about extending Wake already, however this is in debt article on the issue.

    I do not believe that the Miami Dolphins will cut Wake. There are several reasons for this: one of which is Wake’s cooperation.

    Yes, cutting Wake could save the Miami Dolphins $8.4 million against the salary cap. However, Wake has already stated that he would be willing to restructure his deal with the team in order to help them acquire and retain more talent. A restructure is not a pay cut, but usually an extension or shifting of money that would allow the Dolphins to pay Wake at a later date.

    Cameron Wake will be a free agent in 2017, so the most logical way to remedy the current situation is with an extension. This would accomplish a few goals. First, it would allow the team to reduce his 2016 cap hit. They could spread the money on his contract out over multiple years, extrapolating his value for 2017-2019 (or so). Secondly, this would allow Wake to retire as a Miami Dolphin. At 34 years old, this extension would in all likelihood be the last contract he signs in the NFL. Third, it would allow Wake to continue to be productive, as he will be on a defensive line with Ndamukong Suh, and hopefully be playing with a more talented linebacking corps.

    Definitely bring him back. Unless he's completely lame he's worth it.
