The defensive tackle had indicated he hoped to work out something longer than the one-year deal that comes with the franchise designation, but it appears he'll have to keep waiting.
The Dolphins currently are set to pay Starks $8.45 million for the season.
Starks is coming off a year in which he started all 16 games for the Dolphins, registering 4.5 sacks, 27 tackles and a pick.
