Sorry guys but I have to add Bess to my keepers. The guy is as good a slot WR as there is in the league and has many good years ahead of him.

Pouncey won't be a free agent in 2015 because they'll exercise his fifth-year option.
If anyone is interested, I keep a running list of the Dolphins' future free agents for all upcoming years at my blog here:

I used to love visiting your site. You know your stuff, which is refreshing given the Omar and Mando diet we are fed around here.
Your YouTube desk stories were awesome. I hope you have more time for those this season Chris. Glad to see the site again. Welcome back Chris!
Soliai signed a 2 year $12M deal. With his signing bonus of $3.85 split and his $5,7M salary, he will cost almost $8M this year. Based on his play, and the fact that he is only in on half the snaps, hardly a good deal or, worth re-signing.
Is he really on the field for half the snaps? Any evidence behind this. Not being an ass here, just thought it'd be higher than that...Soliai signed a 2 year $12M deal.

Totally agree, major reason why we did so well against the run this year. Wouldnt be surprised if its when we took him out we had trouble against the run...A little more than half, played 627 all season. I don't think that is particularly unusable for a player like him though, and I don't think it's a huge issue considering he's a quality player on the downs he does play. It's all about rotation, keeping guys fresh and having the right personnel for each situation. Soliai does his job and does it well.
I think you are quite mistaken. He's a quality nose tackle.
Yeah but, he's not playing the nose in this scheme. He ranked #50 of all NT/DT's this year. FAR from impressive for $8M.

I do not believe PFF rankings should be taken so literally, especially since that "ranking" is not on a per-snap basis.
2014 will have some big name or key position free agents. They may play a major roll in this years FA. Here are the 2014 FA's.

Moral of the story: Don't buy any players jersey ever again. Learned this the hard way (tho i did get props for sporting a Lousaka Polite jersey :) )
