Dolphins Move to Retain Key Talent
The team secured the future of three-year cornerback Kader Kohou by placing a right-of-first-refusal tender on him ahead of the upcoming free agency period. This decisive move signals a clear intent to keep an integral member of the roster during a pivotal time of roster adjustments.
Contract Details and Cap Implications
The tender is set at $3.3 million, a figure that will serve both as Kohou’s salary and his cap number unless a new long-term contract is negotiated. This arrangement ensures financial clarity and maintains cap stability while allowing for further negotiations.
Strategic Free Agency Safeguard
The tender grants the team the option to match any offer sheet Kohou might receive from another club during free agency. By employing the right-of-first-refusal mechanism, the team not only safeguards its investment in Kohou but also reinforces its commitment to team consistency. In scenarios involving restricted free agents, signing a tendered player is rare, which further underscores the expectation that Kohou will likely remain with the team.
