FLOWERY BRANCH – The Falcons and representatives for defensive tackle Paul Soliai are discussing a possible pay reduction, but those talks are at the very early stages.

Soliai, 32, was signed as a free agent before the 2013 season when Falcons coach Mike Smith and defensive coordiantor Mike Nolan thought they could generate a pass rush by collapsing the interior of opposing offensive lines.

Soliai signed a five-year, $32 million contract with $11 million guaranteed on March 11, 2013.
