The Facts: Dolphins coaches and personnel staff will travel to Indianapolis Monday for the start of the annual NFL Scouting Combine that runs Tuesday through March 6. And while the stated mission of the trip is to meet and get the measure of hundreds of college players for the coming draft, the organization's priority mission may be to try to preserve their relationship with pending free agent Stills. According to Herald staffer Armando Salguero, it will not be an easy assignment. That's because, multiple NFL sources agree, Stills is more likely to leave via free agency than stay in Miami.

Diehards Line: The Stills camp is already aware of the receiver’s potential value in free agency. And the market is said to already be in the $12-million-a-year range, per Salguero's sources. The Dolphins, per sources, have had internal discussions about all their free agents and placed monetary values on those players relative to their cap structure. And Kenny Stills $12 million per season is nowhere close to the model the Dolphins feel comfortable about. Meanwhile, the Eagles might be willing to pay up. Whatever the case, if Stills, who led the team with 10 TD receptions last season, decides he wants to maximize his salary in free agency, he’ll be playing for another team because the Dolphins have no intention of winning a bidding war.
