http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/story/597430.htmlThe Dolphins have not responded to inquiries from Channing Crowder's agent about a new contract, and with Crowder set to become an unrestricted free agent next spring, the situation bears monitoring. Crowder's camp believes he's being seriously underpaid. With a $1 million base salary for this season, he's tied for fourth with Reggie Torbor among the team's linebackers behind linebacker/defensive end Jason Taylor ($7.5 million), Joey Porter ($4.8 million) and Akin Ayodele ($2.5 million).
I can see why the Dolphins are not talking an extension with Crowder just yet. He has been very inconsistent his first three seasons. He needs a big year if he wants to remain a Dolphin for a long time.
