Joe Barry, a former Packers coach, is asking $1.2 million for the Suamico mansion.
SUAMICO — Joe Barry, the former defensive coordinator for the Green Bay Packers, put his Suamico home up for $1,199,900.
Barry is now the Miami Dolphins’ run game coordinator and linebackers coach. Barry was let go by the Packers following the 2023 campaign. The Dolphins hired him right away.
Situated on a private lake in the Hunters Run community is the home at 2363 Crown Point Blvd. With five bedrooms and three and a half baths, it is 4,397 square feet. Situated on a whopping.43 acres to the north of the Barkhausen Waterfowl Reserve, this property boasts a spacious kitchen with quartz counters at the center, a large recreation room, a breakfast bar, and a hot tub. There is a 3-1/2 stall garage as well. There are tennis courts, a private lake, and a beach at Hunters Run.
Brown County land records show that Barry paid $698,000 for the residence in March 2021.
Welcome to the Tuesday edition of The Miami Herald’s blog about NFL/Dolphins free agency.
Four free agents (tight end Jonnu Smith, center Aaron Brewer, linebackers Jordyn Brooks and Anthony Walker Jr.) had committed to the Dolphins as of Tuesday. Four others (Christian Wilkins, Robert Hunt, Andrew Van Ginkel, and Brandon Jones) had lost their contracts, and four more (Xavien Howard, Jerome Baker, Emmanuel Ogbah, and Keion Crossen) had been released.
The Dolphins are trying to fill additional holes, so we’ll have live updates all week long. Kindly return often to see any developments.
6:34 p.m.: Former Buffalo Bill Jordan Poyer has agreed to a one-year contract with the Dolphins, indicating that they have found a capable safety to complement budding star Jevon Holland.
In an effort to save money on cap space, Buffalo waived Poyer, who turns 33 in April, last week. He made hints last summer about wanting to join Miami, but in the end, he decided to re-sign with the Bills, where he spent the previous seven seasons as a player.
Poyer, an All-Pro and Pro Bowl pick once, finished the previous season with 100 tackles, four pass breakups, and one sack. With Jones gone and DeShon Elliott an unrestricted free agent, Miami needed a starting safety.
6 p.m.: Raekwon Davis, a defensive tackle with the Dolphins who started 48 games over the course of four seasons, has signed to a $14 million, two-year contract with the Indianapolis Colts, according to his agent Trevon Smith, who spoke with ESPN.
In January, Davis stated that he was eager to remain in Miami and was not interested in considering any other choices. However, the Dolphins did not prioritize him in the off-season.
With 129 tackles (only five for loss) and two sacks in 63 games, 48 of which he started, the former second-round choice ends his career with the Dolphins.
4:04 p.m.: Robert Jones, an offensive lineman who was scheduled to become a restricted free agency this offseason, was formally re-signed by the Dolphins. Jones may contend for a starting guard berth in 2024 after, according to a source, signing a one-year contract.
3:55 p.m.: According to NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe, Bills star special teams player Siran Neal will meet with the Dolphins on Tuesday and the Falcons on Wednesday.
The purpose of these moves is to strengthen Miami’s special teams. During the last two years, Neal has only played 63 and 45 defensive snaps for Buffalo. In six seasons, he has only made one defensive start, but during that time, he has participated in almost every special teams game.
12:55 p.m.: Derrick Henry, the former NFL rushing champion, signed a two-year, $16 million contract with the Ravens on Tuesday, ending any hope of his playing for the Dolphins.
11:27 a.m.: With their top two starters recovering from serious leg injuries, the Dolphins have added depth to their pass rush. Multiple reports state that Miami has signed former Tampa Bay Buccaneers outside linebacker Shaq Barrett.
Agent Drew Rosenhaus states that the contract has a maximum value of $9 million and is for a year.
With the Bucs and Denver Broncos, Barrett, who turns 32 in November, won two Super Bowls. Barrett, a two-time Pro Bowler, has 4.5 sacks in the most recent campaign. He has nine seasons and fifty-nine career sacks.
As Van Ginkel signs with the Minnesota Vikings, he will help make up for the loss and might start on opening day given the uncertainty surrounding Bradley Chubb’s and Jaelan Phillips’ Achilles injuries.
Barrett won’t be taken into account for the compensatory pick calculation because he was released. Due to the departures of Wilkins (Las Vegas Raiders) and Hunt (Carolina Panthers), the Dolphins are expected to get two compensatory picks in 2025.
10:29 a.m.: The Dolphins used vacant years, a more widely utilized method in the league to lessen budget impacts, in addition to the previously reported cap conversions they carried out to free up cost space.
While using vacant years generates placeholder years for the prorated bonus, it does not prolong the contract. Although void years offer more flexibility in the near run, the player will become a free agent and the remaining bonus will accelerate onto the current cap as dead money whenever the contract voids.
The dead money hit is relatively small for Zach Sieler ($2.8 million in possible dead money in 2027), Durham Smythe ($1.2 million in 2026), and Alec Ingold ($830,000 in 2027). But if Ramsey’s deal isn’t renewed, he might be stuck with $18.5 million in dead money in 2026.
9:30 a.m.: The Dolphins need to fill at least 12 positions. They require two edge players who can start in place of Bradley Chubb (ACL) and Jaelan Phillips (torn Achilles) should they be sidelined at the beginning of the season.
In addition to Zach Sieler and Christian Wilkins’ replacement, they would need a nose tackle who could start when Miami is playing base defense and a starter defensive lineman to replace Wilkins if they decide not to re-sign Raekwon Davis. (In four years, Davis made 48 starts.)
To replace Xavien Howard, they need a starting cornerback and a starting safety, either DeShon Elliott or another player.
They require three backup receivers on the offensive end because Braxton Berrios, Robbie Chosen, River Cracraft, Cedrick Wilson Jr., and Chase Claypool are all free agents.
They also require a backup No. 3 tackle (free agent Kendall Lamm) and two starting guards who can compete with Rob Jones, Lester Cotton, and Liam Eichenberg.
As he recovers from the season-ending quad injury he sustained in October, Isaiah Wynn, who started as Miami’s starting left guard last season, is still available as a free agent.
According to websites that track these things, the Dolphins had roughly $5 million in cap space as of Tuesday. However, with further cuts or restructures, they can clear off far more.
After one day of free agency, these are some of the best players still available in those need positions:
The defensive stance of Wilkins
A’Shawn Robinson, Arik Armstead, Neville Gallimore, Sheldon Rankins, William Gholston, and Calais Campbell are a few of the others. (Armstead would not be included in the compensatory selection calculation because he is a street free agent.)
A NOSE TACKLE SPOT FOR DAVIS
Some players that would make sense are Teair Tart, former Dolphins giant tackle John Jenkins, former Miami starter Jordan Phillips, and DJ Reader (who is returning from a ruptured quad in December but is still productive). Usually, Davis starts seven games in a season, so this is a part-time duty. Miami may possibly consider re-signing Davis, who is eager to get back.
OUTSIDE RUSHERS AND LINEBACKERS
A number of players have recorded multiple sacks: Shaq Barrett (4.5 for Tampa), Bud Dupree (6.5 for Pittsburgh last season), Josh Uche (11.5 in 2022, but 3.0 last year), Darrell Taylor (5.5 for the Titans), Randy Gregory (3.5 sacks), Markus Golden (four for Pittsburgh), Dante Fowler Jr. (four for Dallas), and a number of others.
[UPDATE: Barrett and the Dolphins reached a deal.]
I wouldn’t rule out Baltimore’s Jadeveon Clowney, who finished the 2017 season with 9.5 sacks, due to prior interest. But it’s likely that he desired payment in excess of modest sums.
Note: Chase Young of the 49ers and Danielle Hunter of the Vikings would likely be beyond Miami’s budget.
CORNERBACK
Tre’Davious White (cut by Buffalo), Kenny Moore, Kendall Fuller, JC Jackson, Adoree Jackson, Isaac Yiadom, Patrick Peterson, Stephon Gilmore, C.J. Henderson, Steven Nelson, Levi Wallace, Shaquille Griffin, Dane Jackson, Khristian Fulton, Fabian Moreau, and Chandon Sullivan are among the 65 remaining players, many of whom have been capable starters.
Note: La’Jarius Sneed, a very excellent cornerback for the Chiefs, would cost a ton of money, and the Dolphins are allegedly inquiring about the compensation that Kansas City is owed. You can reasonably continue to consider Sneed as a backup cornerback the longer Miami remains without a signing.
A few corners, like the Ram’s Ahkello Witherspoon, might be too costly, but they’re still important to keep an eye on.
HEALTH
Spotrac reports that there are still 51 spots available. These include Elliott, who spent time working with new Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver in Baltimore, as well as former standout starters Jamal Adams, Justin Simmons, Julian Blackmon (who had four interceptions in the previous season), Budda Baker, Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde, and former Bills Michael Hyde.
UPDATE: Poyer and the Dolphins reached a one-year contract.
It should be noted that Kamren Curl may be too costly for Miami.
GUARD
Spotrac.com lists Greg Van Wroten, Andrus Peat, Coleman Shelton, Cody Whitehair, Laken Tomlinson, Kevin Zeitler, Dalton Risner, Tyler Shatley, Jon Feliciano, and Billy Turner among the 56 still up for grabs.
Never undervalue a free agent After playing guard for Dallas for four seasons, Connor Williams eventually re-signed with Miami. He then spent the last two seasons playing center for the Dolphins. Williams is approaching his free agency cautiously as he heals from an ACL tear sustained in December.
Jonah Williams of the Bengals would be a perfect fit, but his salary is probably too high.
RECOVERABLE BACKUP
Nick Westbrook, Allan Robinson, Van Jefferson, Brandon Powell, KJ Osborne, Mecole Hardman, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Mack Hollins, Isaiah McKenzie, and Donovan Peoples-Jones are among the players who could accept deals commensurate with third through fifth receivers.
Berrios has expressed interest in signing with the Dolphins again.
Note: In Miami, players like Josh Reynolds, Marquise Brown, Calvin Ridley, Odell Beckham Jr., Tyler Boyd, Curtis Samuel, DJ Chark, Darnell Mooney, and Josh Reynolds will not be able to find a starting position or starter’s salary.
