The Atlanta Falcons will cut defensive tackle Paul Soliai next month after he and the club couldn't agree on a restructured contract, FOX Sports NFL Insider Alex Marvez reports.

Soliai's agent passed along the news.

Soliai, a nine-year veteran, played the last two seasons in Atlanta, starting 14 games in 2014 and 10 last season.

Soliai was due a base salary of $5 million in 2016, according to Pro Football Talk, after signing a five-year, $32 million deal in 2014. Depending on how the Falcons handle his release, they will take a cap hit of $4.2 million this year or $1.4 million in 2016 and $2.8 million in 2017, PFT says.
