The Miami Dolphins just made a massive move by parting ways with quarterback Tua Tagaviloa through a post-June first cut. This decision slams them with a record 99 million dollar dead money cap hit next season, the biggest in NFL history. That tops the previous mark set by Russell Wilson when the Denver Broncos released him before the 2024 season at 85 million dollars. Wilson now slides down the list of worst dead cap burdens. Fans and teams still cringe at Wilson's Denver deal. One of the franchises all-time bad contracts after two rough seasons there. Broncos coach Sean Payton compared escaping it to having extra cash for a home makeover, freeing up their books. Wilson shows up twice in the top 13 dead money hits ever from a Seattle days and Denver, totaling $111 million. Since leaving Denver, he is bounced to the Pittsburgh Steelers in New

York Giants. Now benched in 2025 for a Giants rookie, Wilson heads to free agency seeking his fourth team in four years. Both he and Tagaviloa hunt for fresh starts on friendlier deals.
