Miami Dolphins 2012 Free Agency Overview

The Miami Dolphins have 50 players under contract for 2012 to go along with two exclusive rights free agents and four restricted free agents. Guard Rey Feinga was scheduled to be an exclusive rights free agent, but signed a one-year, $555,000 contract after the regular season.

Among their 11 free agents is nose tackle Paul Soliai, who played the 2011 season under the one-year franchise tender. To use that tag again would cost the Dolphins $14.971 million.
