Report: Miami Dolphins have to pay $6M signing bonus to complete Ereck Flowers trade
- Updated: April 27, 2021
The Miami Dolphins reportedly will be paying offensive lineman Ereck Flowers $6 million in a signing bonus following his trade to the Washington Football Team on Tuesday.
To make his trade to Washington from Miami official, OL Ereck Flowers restructured his contract whereby the Dolphins will pay $6 million in a signing bonus and Washington will pay a $3 million base salary, giving Flowers $9M fully guaranteed this year, per @DrewJRosenhaus.

The Dolphins sent Flowers to Washington for a reported swap in late-round draft picks that will seemingly free up cap space before the team will have to sign picks following Thursday’s draft.
Flowers spent one season in Miami after signing a three-year, $30 million contract last offseason. He started 14 of the 14 games he appeared in during the 2020 season and returns to Washington after playing there in 2019.
With the departure of Flowers, the Dolphins could be looking to target an offensive lineman in the draft. Miami holds eight total picks, including two selections each in rounds one and two.
