Dolphins

According to Walker, Odrick is hoping for a contract extension with the team, but it appears unlikely that anything will get done this year.
Odrick is expected to continue splitting time at defensive tackle with Earl Mitchell and Randy Starks.
Odrick, 26, is entering the final year of his rookie contract and stands to make just $1.64 million for the 2014 season.
He has appeared in all 16 games for three straight years and has recorded 80 tackles, 15.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and an interception.
