Default Dolphins expected to franchise NT Paul Soliai, (so not coming to cowboys probably)

Paul Soliai - DL - Dolphins The Dolphins are not expected to place the franchise or transition tag on free agent NT Paul Soliai.
The DT franchise tag is $12.3-$12.5 million, and the transition tag is $9.4-$9.5 million. The Fins will miss Soliai if he walks, but they'd also seen him for three years as an underachiever before last season's contract-year breakout. Just turned 27, Soliai will attract mega-interest on the open market.

Holy smokes that's a lot of money.
We need wins, and that's all we need. I don't give a damn about anyone on this roster over wins. I'd trade Ware, Lee and Dez if it meant more wins.

Talk about overpaying. Kind of glad they are doing this so that we wouldn't be doing the same.


Dez Bryant, Receiver. A man who's season is over. Gentlemen, the Cowboy's staff can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to make the world's first super human receiver.
Dez Bryant will be that man. Better than he was before. Better.... Stronger..... Faster......

lol, I was commenting on the franchise tag. It was around 7 or 8mil just last year and now it's all the way up to 12.5? That's nuts.

DE I can understand, but I can't believe it's that high for a DT. The thread title sure confuses matter though.

So much for the Soliai to Dallas thing huh.
That is a tad high for a DT but anything to stop other teams from signing him.

Default Headline or Article wrong

Headlines states the Expect to Tag but the Article states their not. Since the Article states their Not than it seems as though he want be Franchised or Tagged so hes open market.
