The Miami Dolphins already extended one player heading into a contract year, Cameron Wake, this offseason, but it appears they are not done. According to the Miami Herald, the Dolphins are expected to begin work on an extension with defensive tackle Randy Starks, as well as possibly cornerback/safety Sean Smith and wide receiver Brian Hartline, in the coming weeks.
It makes sense that they’d try to extend these players now because, as they announced earlier today, they will be using the franchise tag on Jake Long next offseason if a deal can’t be worked out between the Dolphins and their former #1 overall pick before then. Long and the Dolphins are currently far apart on a deal and the Dolphins might feel it would be easier to extend some of their “lesser” players now and deal with Long later, rather than the other way around.

According to Miami Herald, if the Dolphins aren’t able to lock up left tackle Jake Long to a long-term extension next offseason, they’ll use the franchise tag on him, order to keep him from hitting the open free agent market.
Long is clearly a franchise left tackle and the Dolphins have to do whatever it takes to keep him around for the remainder of his career. It...

Long wants a deal equal to or greater than the 92 million over 8 years that Joe Thomas got last offseason and the Dolphins are not willing to give that to him because of all the injuries...

Fantasy Football and the Miami Dolphins actually don’t make a very good mix. In 2011, the team put up only 20.6 points per game (20th in the NFL) and had a tough time finding out who their play-makers were. With a key piece gone (WR Brandon Marshall), new coach (Joe Philbin) and a quarterback controversy (Matt Moore, David Garrard and Ryan Tannehill), the fantasy outlook for this...
