NOSE TACKLE SOLIAI TO MAKE $12.5 MILLION N 2011

Paul Soliai, the Dolphins fourth round selection in 2007, had a breakout season in 2011 as the team's starting Nose Tackle. With Soliai's contract expiring the Dolphins have decided to place the team's franchise tag on the 6-4, 355 pound defensive lineman from Utah.

The move guarantees Soliai a one year contract worth $12.5 million. It is a steep price, but worth it to secure a solid player at the core position in the 3-4 defense.
