No.
A compensatory free agent must be someone who's contract expires, not one who's contract is terminated. Non-tendered free agents also can't qualify because the team in question had the ability to retain them and elected not to. They only count if they are free agents due to a complete lack of team control.
And as Adams is a rental in practice but not by contract, he'd end up getting cut and wouldn't be factored into the CFA figures. [Reply]

I think the team is probably fine losing the 'personality' that comes with Tyreek Hill.
I could see him wearing thin unless he's just absolutely torching creation. And shit, he might do precisely that here.
But the team has moved beyond trying to keep him restrained and I don't know that they're super eager to get back on that train. Moreover, KEEPING someone reined in is a hell of a lot easier than actually reining someone in that's already gone off the rails a bit.
Tyreek's time in Miami has been...turbulent. And I think the Chiefs would have more difficulty than ever (especially now that he's gotten paid) in keeping him in check.
I just don't think that's a ride they're going to sign up for unless/until he's towards the back end of his career and has mellowed a bit. [Reply]
The Cheetah is owed 26-30 million per year in guaranteed money. And besides the high-end salary he's owed, the Dolphins are going to want draft capital. For a 30 year old receiver. [Reply]
