Falcons plan to part ways with starting NT Soliai

The Atlanta Falcons plan to part ways with starting nose tackle Paul Soliai, their biggest free-agent acquisition from the 2014 offseason.

Soliai's agent, David Canter, said after "positive conversation" with the Falcons this weekend regarding a paycut, the two sides could not agree to terms. Canter said the team plans to release Soliai on March 9. It will be designated a post-June 1 cut, meaning the Falcons will save $5,437,500 against the 2016 cap as opposed to $2,637,500 by just releasing him now.
