One less thing to ***** about until tomorrow! :yes:

Hallelujah!

As Jesse Agler said in his tweet, it's important to see how his shoulder is now. That's why I didn't see it as a big deal whether he was ready to go tomorrow or in 3-4 days. Hopefully, that shoulder is good to go.

Yes!

Good to hear.

Damn I hope he's more of the next Aldon Smith or Jason Taylor than the next Vernon Gholston. I look forward to him helping Brady up off his back so he doesn't have time to rest.

Dolphins paid more of his guaranteed money up front. So less of the money in the deal is subject to potential offset in the future.
Sounds like the Tannehill compromise. I think Dion took control of the negotiations.dolfan32323, SICK and djphinfan like this. -

Aponte is the man got the offset language. Hope more teams follow suit (which it seems it is trickling through)

Well, our front office wasn't gonna budge on a raw QB so I don't think they would of on a D-end, that's the bad news, that their hung up on some language that I don't agree with, but damn, the good news is, we gotta kid that seemingly just wants to play ball..I love a sign like that, he doesn't want to miss one day, he wants to be with his teammates, his humility whether he knows it or not comes thru loud and clear..
He just improved his odds of becoming a great player, sounds to me like the man with exceptional tools wants to go to work..P h i N s A N i T y likes this. -
I can see both sides of the argument...you traded up for the guy, so you should have complete confidence that he won't become a total bust worthy of cutting before his deal ends, which sort of negates the need for any offsets....on the other hand you gotta take all necessary precautions when Ireland's drafting lol.

LB, unless you're pushing Social Security as hard as I am, I have probably seen more sure-fire Can't Miss First Round Draft pick turn into wobbling turkeys right before our eyes to make up a pretty good roster for a Div. II NCAA football team than you have. EVERY team takes all necessary precautions, and they don't always work out. Even Bobby Beathard drafted Ryan Leaf.

Ireland is performing the role of of an administrator in this situation.Dawn Aponte is the one person deserving the credit for setting the trend in the NFL for offset language inserted in rookie contracts for early round picks.That alone qualifies her for the newly vacant CEO position IMO.

so wouldn't this kind of negate the need for such language if the majority of the guaranteed money is in the first couple of years? I can see it now, yea we have the language in the contract but by the time we get to the point we may want to cut him we have already payed him the money the language is supposed to protect... lol :shifty:
