Don’t really care WHY some of these draftees have signed relatively early, but I do wonder if it’s the players eager to buy in to the Flores philosophy or if coronavirus and financial uncertainty has anything to do with it. Either way, good news
I'd sign as fast as possible with the virus out there- why wouldn't you want to get a paycheck (signing bonus) today while there's no football? That helps them get moved to Miami and get their lives situated in this downtime...there's literally no downside to signing as quickly as possible.
Especially with the rookie contract pay scale in place. There’s no negotiation you know how much the contract is.
Tua Tagovailoa was the second quarterback selected in last month’s draft, and he has yet to play a game. Dolphins fans, though, are buying in. Literally. Tagovailoa has the NFL’s two highest-selling jerseys since the draft, Cameron Wolfe of ESPN reports. Tagovailoa’s aqua Dolphins men’s jersey is the No. 1 seller the past two weeks on NFLShop.com, while his white jersey is No. 2. Tagovailoa’s jersey sales have topped Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, Buccaneers tight end Rob Gronkowski, Colts quarterback Philip Rivers and every other player in the NFL over the past two weeks. Brady has the third-, fourth-, fifth- and sixth-highest selling jerseys since the draft, and Gronkowski ranks seventh, per Wolfe. Burrow is second on the rookie selling charts during that period, with his black Bengals jersey ranking eighth, his orange jersey 11th and his white jersey ranking 15th. Chargers rookie quarterback Justin Herbert‘s powder blue jersey ranks No. 12 since the draft. The highest-selling non-quarterback among rookies is Cowboys receiver CeeDee Lamb, who ranks 14th with his blue jersey.
Yea, Tagovailoa is just going to have to earn my money to get his jersey. Call me silly, but I still can’t believe he’s wearing Yepremian’s number
Yeah the best thing to do anymore is to have a custom jersey made and put your favorite number and your own name on it.
Yes, this is all well and good but the thing most Dolphins fans want to know is - Will Ryan Tannehill be starting for the Titans this year???
I got this one from DH Gate for $18. I know some fans don't love the knockoffs, but my brother and I wear em like t-shirts so we don't have to worry about ruining them. So far the quality has been solid though- I think I have 6 jerseys and he has about 10.
