Soliai re-signed

Darlington says he's finalizing it in the FO right now.

I'm kinda ehh but let's see the numbers.

 

That's awesome. I hope its true.

 

What the hell! Fire Jeff Ireland!! Ross sucks!! How the hell did we let Solia go!! WTF!!

Ooops, I see we re-signed him

 

Whats his passer rating?

 

sigh... yup, a run defender(can't even say two-down player anymore in today's nfl) with a fat contract. Our new DC is a 4-3 guy!!

 

LMAO!

And this is very good news.

 

There are a good 6-7 holes on this team and if we don't sign a hall of fame quarterback to fill each one IRELAND MUST GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

To be fair running a 4-3 in no way shape or form means you can't have two run stuffing DT's who eat up lineman while your edge rushers provide the pass rush. Running a 4-3 doesn't mean everyone on your line has to be a pure pass rusher. As for the move, it really depends how much money we threw at him.

 

He's gonna be our new #1 WR.

 

As high as Fireman Ed's IQ,of course.

Hope this is true. Would be nice news about Soliai .

 

Now steal Mario Williams from Buffalo and it;s the greatest offseason ever.

 

Ben Volin is saying the deal could be north of 3 years $15M with about 9.5 guaranteed.

 

@JasonLaCanfora Paul Soliai's 2year deal in MIA includes $12M in new money and when coupled with '11 franchise tag totals $24M/3yrs w/$18M guar

different numbers ... have to see who got the correct scoop

 

As long as it is less than about 4 million a season I am happy. I think it could be interesting to see him along side either Odrick, Merling, or Starks. He could be good in the 4-3. Just really curious to see who our other DE is going to be alongside Wake.

 

All I care about is the cap hit. Hope they work something out to get a favorable cap deal.

 

I am guessing this is official

 

Good move. DL was a strength but with Soliai and Langford being FA could have turned into a weakness real quick. Pass rushing DE would be nice now.

 

Mando says ;


ArmandoSalguero Paul Soliai deal is for two years and $12 million with $6 million guaranteed. He's made $18 million last two yrs. UFA in 2014.

Glad he's back.

 

So what's the cap number? I'm not versed how NFL deals affect the cap.

 

Pft is reporting there's an 18 mil 3rd year option.

 

. Soliai will be a free agent again in 2014, when the new NFL TV deals kick in and the salary cap is expected to jump significantly. His salary cap number will be a shade over $4 million-per Volin

 

Yeah I saw that and then about :15 later Armando refuted that there is a 3rd year

 

Fairly cheap for the top NT in FA this year. Good deal.

 

I feel like we took a step back then a step forward by not resigning him til now. Time to put our attention back on offense, we need one of those.

 

It's a good deal for the Phins. But, that means Dolphins are now just slightly over $10M under the cap. They're gonna have to restructure some contracts if they want to sign more people and the rookies from the draft.

 

That's actually really good news. He should be able to play free and clear in his prime.

 

I've seen conflicting reports on our cap situation. From what I read on the Miami herald yesterday we were 16 mil under which would make us at 12 mil under now. I don't know what to believe anymore. Does anyone have any concrete evidence on this?

 

Ben Volin had the Dolphins cap situation at $14.4M under before Soliai. With the Soliai deal it should be around $10M under. Omar Kelly said the same on twitter. Don't know which is real.

But we should assume the cap situation should be between $10M and $12M under.

 

here's the link I was talking about. They either changed it or I'm not remembering correctly but it says we are less than 15 mil under so that puts us at less than 11 mil under now.

I had to copy and paste it. For some reason it didn't post as a link like it should have but copy and pasting makes it work.

 

Yeah that looks to be about the same as what Ben Volin has.

 

I'm suprised that the number is so low in comparison to some of the early contracts we have seen. Is this the norm for his position and performance? Doesn't it seem like his contract is below market value???

 

Soliai gave us a home discount for sure.

 

was it soliai that I remember reading about selling his house? Hopefully it was just put on the market and not sold. That would be a big inconvenience. Lol.

 

I am still trying to figure out how us running a 4-3 means we cantt have a nose tackle. People, there have been many times when that alignment used a nose tackle.

 

wasn't our cap # somewhere around 14m under prior to yesterday......and after the Marshall trade we got his cap back.....what was his cap...maybe 9/10 or 11 million, which would have us at 22 + under. ?????? jus asskin

 

Great move in my opinion! Extra 12mil for 2 more years. Its funny how I can say it seems cheep 12 million.. lol, but when megatron gets 60 mil guaranteed omg. He is a good DT, if he can just go all out every down he can be a beast for us. Sometimes it seems with him the effort is not always there. Still good move.

 

It doesn't matter, Pats have been proving that point with their line for about a decade now with Wilfork. It's always nice to have a big man that can move and take up two blockers, regardless of whether he's in a 4-3 or 3-4.
