Laconfara: Starks close to returning to fins

Hasn't Laconfora been horribly wrong with his other "insider knowledge". Believe this if and when he signs.
 
I think Starks is pretty good against the run...the same with Odrick.

I like Soliai, but he was not Ted Washington.
 
Getting Starks back would be huge. But Hoops is right..the run D up the middle is lacking. We need a stud LB back there. Mosely would be a real nice get.

If we can snag a G or RT and a CB it's really going to open up our draft for BPA. Such as a Mosely, Amaro, etc

Yes, he has been. If you were to take everything JLC has reported as a 'done deal' at face value, the Miami Dolphins, coached by Jeff Fisher and Quarterbacked by Peyton Manning, would currently be facing the loss of a first round draft pick for the Bullygate scandal.
 
Just as a reference....the Bucs don't have any space eaters at DT either, but their LB core is ridicules....here's for hoping a C.J. Mosley ends up a phin...

mosley would be a better get if he showed strength at the poa...cause that's what we really need...is some stoutness to take on and shed...in addition to instincts...especially when we are gonna go with a pretty soft front

i think mosleys more a wolb anyways though cause he doesn't show great poa strength...

If Ian Rapoport and Barry Jackson are reporting it, then it is true. Kudos to La Canfora for finally getting one right.

solia has more value frankly...what miami has done here is taken a weakness and made it weaker imo...the dt group was the only formidable run front we had...teams are gonna run right at us...these guys better play their gaps...gone to all gap shooters and penetrators...no poa strength...gonna see teams double odrick and or starks and blow wide open holes into our second level...they won't double mitchell cause they won't need to...

between the dt rotation now and the lb core and the undersized de's at the poa oc's are gonna run run run at us in the nickle...

Soliai isn't much better at taking double-teams. He tends to "turn his back" against doubles in order to maintain position. Starks took a lot of doubles himself. I am much happier keeping Starks than Soliai. But, I have never been impressed by Soliai. He had a good 5-game run in his contract year and everyone thought he had "arrived". After that, he pretty much went back to just being another guy...
 
For months, and the days leading up to free agency, Dolphins defensive tackle Randy Starks was not offered a deal with Miami.

That changed late Tuesday and now Starks is heading back to Miami.

Starks is finalizing his deal to Miami according to NFL Media. Starks is expected to sign a deal worth up to $6 million a year. Paul Soliai, who signed with Atlanta on Tuesday and was a hotter name on the market than Soliai, was offered even less money by Miami: A 2-year deal worth $11.5 million ($5.75 million guaranteed).

This comes a day after the Dolphins gave former Houston tackle Earl Mitchell a 4-year deal at $16 million ($9 million guaranteed.)

Soliai ended up with a five-year $33 million ($14 million guaranteed) deal with Atlanta.

If Starks does get $6 million a year, he likely won’t get close to the guaranteed money Soliai is receiving.
