ROTOWORLD: Starks signed his one-year, $8.5 million franchise tender in March, but held out of all voluntary activities in search of a long-term deal. He would have been subject to heavy fines for blowing off this week's minicamp. Starks' desire for a long-term deal is understandable, but going on 30, he may not get one unless it's for a team-friendly price.

He wants the security to know that he's going to be somewhere for an extended period of time

Yeah, no doubt, 8.5 mil is nothing. He needs more financial "security" if he gets hurt. Let's not even count the amount of money he has made over his career....poor Randy.

...

Tagging Starks, who just completed a five-year, $20.5 million deal he signed with Miami in 2008, would guarantee the 29-year-old a one-year contract worth $8.45 million if he signed it. Starks would like to remain in South Florida, but it appears contract talks have stalled.

“I want to be a Dolphin, (and) not just for one more year,” Starks tweeted out on Sunday.

“Discount, yeah. Clearance rack, heck no!

“I want to be here and finish here!”

Problem is the Dolphins have a decent replacement for Starks already on the roster in Jared Odrick, the team’s 2010 first-round pick. Odrick, who is 6-foot-5, 302 pounds, spent all of last season as a defensive end, typically playing out of position, because of the team’s recent switch from a 3-4 scheme to a 4-3 scheme. ...

Starks could land a contract that trumps the four-year, $24 million ($12 million guaranteed) deal former Dolphins defensive tackle Kendall Langford got from the Rams last offseason. ...

He has made appx. 30mil in a 5 yr span.

He has made appx. 30mil in a 5 yr span.

Yep and he wants to make more as, at least in my experience, most people want to.

lol. you and I together with our extended family won't even sniff 30mil. Sure we all want more money, but 30mil is a crazy amount to compare us with bro.

The amount doesn't matter Mak. The point is, no matter what we're making, we always want more.

I get what your saying, I just share the same opinion. No problem. I look at 30mil like winning the lottery. I wouldn't work anymore nor would I want more money.
