Dolphins assigned the franchise tag to DT Randy Starks.
It means Jake Long, Brian Hartline and CB Sean Smith will all reach free agency if they so desire. A nine-year veteran coming off a 4.5-sack campaign, Starks will be guaranteed $8.45 million once he signs on the dotted line. A Dolphins defensive line that was stout across-the-board last season will return intact for 2013.
