Dolphins sign Vernon Carey

February 20th, 2009 by Edgar Thompson

The Dolphins have locked up right tackle Vernon Carey to a five-year deal, an NFL source said, solidifying the tackle position for the team for the next several years.

The team’s first-round pick in 2004, Carey, 27, has started 60 straight games for the Dolphins.

More to come in a bit.

glad we got him signed, hopefully we didnt pay a ton for him. 1 less hole going into next season. :hi5:

Here you go. Glad we got that done before other teams had a shot at him

NO sorries..you are the man...did not want anyone to think I was making it up!

Can't wait to see how much we're paying him.

I'm thinking 5 years, 27 million. Or somewhere close to that area.

Hey NyFinfan let me try and help you out. To cut and paste a blog just go to the page and up top you will see the web address starting with http:// go to the very end of the address and move your mouse just to the right of it and click once on your left mouse key. This will turn the whole address blue, now move your mouse over the highlighted address and make a right hand mouse click and choose copy. Now come to this blog and in this box where we type our blog do a right hand click with your mouse and chose paste, and you are done.

Our bookends are set! Glad they came to a deal with him.

Guess this is why they didn't feel the need to tag him ?? At any rate, it's a good move for us...one less hole to fill now...the next question....do they still go after Jason Brown ?????

Glad to hear this.:up:

The million dollar question..I think they still do

Well, that clearly puts to rest the theory that Ireland and Spaprano weren't high on Carey's talent. They certainly would have let him walk if that was the case.

Carey's a key ingredient as he's interchangeable at RT,LT and Guard.
Hope we got a little "home town discount" or at the least didn't break the bank on him.

This definitly gives me a sense of relief knowing that our line can continue to develop without too many changes.

Congrats guys. He's a solid RT.

sweet. now with the bookends locked up, and Thomas and Smiley getting healthy, only concern is the Center spot.

Time to bring in Jason Brown! :yes:

This is great news. Very solid by the FO.

Vernon Carey was the first on my list that I wanted re-signed.

Lets work on Bell, Jason Brown, and Bart Scott now!

If Bart Scott leaves Maryland he's going North, not South.

This is indeed great news, I was worried about RT.

That PBP blog that said that the Dolphins didnt like him that much was pure speculation and is incorrect .

We were so close to signing a deal that franchising him was unnecessary although IMO they would have if they had to .

Hopefully this means we are close to signing Bell too .

:woot:

Keeping the solid players on our O-Line is key. Good job guys!

Excellent decision by the Phins brass.

Edgar Thompson, of the Palm Beach Post, reports the Miami Dolphins have re-signed OT Vernon Carey to a six-year contract worth $42 million, according to sources.
