Dolphins don't use tag but are working on signing Carey.
"I would think when you're coming off a 1-15 and now you're 11-5, when you start to turn the corner -- and we're not there yet -- and change the culture, that that's attractive to free agents. I think the players on our team right now probably have a pretty good message for potential free agents that might be out there."
Sparano said the Dolphins' plan under Bill Parcells is to build through the draft with an occasional dip into the free-agent market.
"You try to build it through the draft with as many pieces as you can," Sparano said. "We need a lot of players."
