Big Paul is leaving miami

[adamcal187]

Offer him 3yr 19 mil with 11 guaranteed. Set up where the first 2 yrs are fully gaur entered at say 4.5 then 6.5 with the last year being for 8 but able to be cut with no dead money. That's the best I could do for an over 30 2 down player.

Gotta think we could land a solid 2 down run stopper for 3 millionish with the deep market this year

I'm sure he has something lined up for the money he is looking for,

Funny how anytime a Dolphins player gets an extension that is not a Canter clinet, he takes to Twitter and starts ranting. This is Grimes' day but Canter tries to piss on it. Same thing happened when Misi got his extension.

 

[hoops]

It is posturing, but there is also a rumor he is high on Pittsburg's wish list.

good luck getting pittsburgh to pony up...would be a good fit for their d though

 

[Zounds]

Wasn't the tag for him about 12 million a couple of years ago?

Yes but he was a NT in the 3-4 defense under Nolan. His role is not the same now.

 

[jvw]

Franchise tag for Soliai is $9.654 million. That seems like a lot for him. I doubt he gets tagged.

No way would I pay that much for him, if he gets that kind of cash more power to him.....

 

[DefensiveEnd76]

I think we all agree. Canter is a jackass.

 

[AL R]

He followed up with a response about no hometown discounts this time. Tells me Soliai is looking to get paid big this time around. Could be his last big contract, so don't blame him.

Don't blame him either but I don't think Miami is going to give the huge payday to either DT...I get the feeling besides Grimes no one else of our FA are coming back. I still think they should consider bringing back Clemons back, depending on what his market value is.

 

[DefensiveEnd76]

And Soliai is NOT worth the money he is seeking. It's not like he's Suh from Detroit for crying out loud.

 

[mike_vee]

let him walk and sign Starks... Starks and Paul are 1 or 2 apart? and Starks has proven much more than Paul has.

I agree, and considering they are $5m over the cap before the 2014 season even starts, not sure it happens. Green Bay could be interested though as he would fit there nicely as well and they have money and are rumored to spend this year.

 

[Phins28]

Hickey plan is simple, let Soliai walk resign Starks.

 

[hoops]

solia is a good player...miami doesnt want to depend on any rookie dts i can tell ya that...so they better have a plan here

pittsburghs got a pickle though...they let worilds go they got no youth edge pass rush player...woodleys getting old and injury prone...everything else cant get to the qb

Good observation. Canter must be a lot of fun to negotiate with, but Dawn is a pro. Canter is actively working for his client and taking cheap shots is his way of insulting Dawn and Hickey.
Truth is that Big Paulie's best years are probably behind him and maybe we can get better value elsewhere, maybe a NT in the draft.

Exactly. They rarely break the bank & most assuredly not on an older FA.

It'd shock me if the stealers don't draft Nix.
