NFL Free Agency: Dolphins, DT Earl Mitchell agree to 4-year, $16 million deal
By Mike Dyce
The Miami Dolphins have signed Houston Texans defensive end Earl Mitchell, who will replace Paul Soliai.
From CBS:
"With the Dolphins losing defensive tackle Paul Soliai to the Falcons, they’ve reportedly replaced him quickly with former Texans defensive tackle Earl Mitchell, signing him to a four-year, $16 million deal, according to various reports.Soliai got a richer deal, signing a reported contract worth five years and $33 million with Atlanta, but Miami gets a younger player (Mitchell is 26 years old compared to the 30-year-old Soliai)."
Here received a congratulatory tweet from famous Houston sports reporter John McClain.
Congrats to Earl Mitchell. Good guy, hard worker who's cashed in with Miami. He'll be a solid player who can be counted on.
