Miami Dolphins place franchise tag on Paul Soliai

The Miami Dolphins gave defensive lineman Paul Soliai a huge pay raise today by placing the franchise tag on him. The team had been working on long-term deal but hadn't made enough progress, which led to the franchise tag.

Soliai, who turns 28 in December, will now make more than $12 million for 2011. That's quite a raise considering he made only $467,000 last season.
