No numbers. I think they are going to approach an extension with Berry here soon and try to get Hali's number down to create space first.

If they do that and have money to juggle, they may just spread it out evenly. No numbers, but I'd guess he's going to get around 15 mill a year when all is said and done.

It just depends on what you consider a big name. Clemons isn't a big name.

I'd say right now 1-2 in free agency and then about 4-5 second and third tier guys.

Are you just throwing Clemons out there or ?

[O.city]

15 per is pretty solid it seems

[BossChief]

Have they talked to Abdullah about an extension? Schwartz? Asamoah?

Any idea of a few guys they are interested in?

I have no info that he's a target. That's just my own preference.

Nope. Just asked about AS extension.

I don't think there's a chance Asamoah is back though.

If we can re-sign Schwartz, Abdullah and a couple other of our own free agents while upgrading a few other spots and have a good draft, this team is gonna take off next year.

If we resign Albert what does that say about Fisher?

Unless we are really set on signing big name free agents, I would rather not restructure Hali's contract. Unless he's some kind of good samaritan and truly agrees to a massive pay cut. We're just setting ourselves up to massively overpay him in his decline years.

from Rotoworld: Doesn't inspire much confidence

ESPN Dolphins blogger James Walker reports that re-signing free agent FS Chris Clemons "isn't a priority."
Clemons started all 16 games last season, finishing with 93 tackles and an interception. The Dolphins are looking to upgrade at safety opposite Reshad Jones, so Clemons will be allowed to test the open market. Clemons figures to be limited to one-year deals in free agency. He turns 29 this offseason.
