Hopefully Merling will not hold out. It would be great for the team if all the rookies sign before camp and start to compete.

Their going to do what ever it takes signing all rookies before mini camp.

interesting about merlings agent....
really though... come one.. you're a 2nd round pick. I don't care if you were first in the 2nd or 5th. I dont care if you were projected int he 2nd round by some people... what matters is you were drafted in round 2. you have the chance to play, possibly start in the NFL... sign the damn contract for whatever its worth... if you prove yourself to be worthy.. lets deal with it then. god i hate the NFL rookie deals.. -
I highly doubt that he'll butt heads with this staff. He should be thankful we stopped his slide.

Yeah, a holdout is unlikely... That would not be wise.

Hopefully the relationship between the agent and the FO will help make negotiations easier, but agents are agents. There is a pretty big difference between getting payed like the last pick in the 1st round and the first pick in the 2nd. I'm sure they might argue that the Pats loss of a draft pick makes him a 1st round player.
Hopefully they get him signed and in camp on time.
btw Sweet sig Hulk :yes: -

I don't think he would be whining or anything to hold out for what Gonzalez got last year - it only makes sense.
If it were me I would sure as hell say I was the 32nd pick - not the 33rd - so pay me as such. There seems to be a huge difference between the two deals. -
Whether his agent likes it or not his client will be slotted in between the 31st and 33rd pick.Thats how it works.
Any holdout will work against the player and will get him in the Dolphins doghouse very quickly.ATVZ400 likes this.
