Miami Dolphins player earnings

$1,885,416,380 earned by the 65 players on the roster, led by Tyreek Hill on $183,489,171.

Miami Dolphins are 2nd of 32 on what the roster is worth and 11th on what the club has paid out. The first number counts everything the men on the books have been paid anywhere in their careers and the second counts only the seasons the club's own name is against, which is why they disagree. The Miami Dolphins cap sheet is here.
