Dolphins unlikely to keep Vernon at $15-16M

Olivier Vernon | MIA

The Miami Herald believes transition tagged RE Olivier Vernon is "gone" from Miami if he signs an offer sheet worth an annual $15-$16 million.


It makes sense, as the Dolphins would have franchise tagged Vernon at $15.7 million if they were willing to pay that. With teams always in need of pass rushers and the free agent market thin, it's possible, if not probable, Vernon gets an offer the Dolphins can refuse.

Yea there's simply no way they're going to keep him, they weren't going to assign the exclusive franchise tag because they don't want to pay him $15M, so the transition tag makes sense. The Dolphins know they're going to lose Vernon, so there's no risk in placing the transition tag on him.
