I understand that he feels he deserves a long term contract, but how can anyone be angry to get a 1 year contract worth twice what he is worth. Maybe he recognized that he showed signs at the end of last season of wearing down. Maybe he understands that the Dolphins are rebuilding their rebuild job and his age is not fitting in with the new changes. Take the $8 million and be happy. Quote: Unhappy 'Fins DT Starks reports for minicamp ADAM BEASLEY: As promised, Randy Starks will participate in this week's minicamp after skipping the voluntary workouts & OTAs over franchise tag. https://twitter.com/AdamHBeasley/status ... 4253418496 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. http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/52156313/ ... ayer_news/ _________________ Phinfever Facebook Download the Free Phinfever Miami Dolphins Browser Toolbar

In this league, one hit and your career is over. He wants the security to know that he's going to be somewhere for an extended period of time and that, if the worst does happen, he's taken care of. I can't fault the guy for that. _________________ www.aspoonfulofsports.blogspot.com www.aspoonfulofsports.com

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.

I would think that $8.5 million is twice what he'll get from any team. And I believe it is guaranteed money. . _________________ Phinfever Facebook Download the Free Phinfever Miami Dolphins Browser Toolbar

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. ... http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2013-0 ... ree-agents I don't begrudge these guys realistically getting what they can while they can. I would imagine that most people, if they were in his situation, would try and do the same.

But because he is hitting 30 soon, I don't think the Dolphins will do a long term deal. 2 years at the most on a team friendly deal. Miami has got some tough decision to make on Starks and Paul Soliai. Paul took a team friendly deal a few years ago, and you have to hope he will again as he really wanted to stay in Miami. _________________

He wants to finish his career in Miami, but he also wants to be paid what he feels is a fair amount _________________ www.aspoonfulofsports.blogspot.com www.aspoonfulofsports.com

It is unique but wanting to maximize your paycheck is not uncommon.

I wouldn't work anymore nor would I want more money.

However, if my family and I were used to a multimillion dollar lifestyle I might be wanting more knowing that I was not even 40, would probably never make a paycheck like that again, and planned on living a while longer.

From TO to Allen Iverson and everyone in between, for them to go bankrupt is crazy. Make your millions and buy modest things. Starks is old in football years. He can't expect to get a big payday, so he's franchised. Don't come to camp unhappy. He plays professional football and is a millionaire over and over again. I have no symphony for him.
