CAN KICKER OLINDO MARE BE THAT MAN?
Team denies report about Mare

A Dolphins source denied a published report that the team asked kicker Olindo 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.
Agent Drew Rosenhaus didn't seem terribly upset with the idea of Mare being possibly cut.
''Don't cry for Olindo if he gets let go,'' Rosenhaus said. ``There will be plenty of takers for him if he's out on the street.''
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 because of his criticism of quarterback Peyton Manning and coach Tony Dungy.
Also, Vanderjagt is poor on kickoffs, an area where Mare has excelled. Mare is annually among the league leaders in touchbacks. Vanderjagt has usually had to have someone else do kickoffs in his place.
