The Facts: A Dolphins source denied a published report that the team asked Mare to take a pay cut and that he declined and asked to be released. All of that came in the wake of the Dolphins having Pro Bowl kicker Mike Vanderjagt in for a visit Monday.
Diehards Line:Mare is set to have a base salary of $1.4 million this season. Vanderjagt is the most accurate kicker in NFL history at 87.5 percent. Mare is fifth at just over 82 percent. Vanderjagt also missed a critical kick in Indianapolis' playoff loss to Pittsburgh and has been a controversial character off the field. He also struggles on kickoffs, an area where Mare has excelled.
