The Miami Dolphins and defensive end Cameron Wake have agreed to a two-year extension.
That means Wake, 34, will likely finish his career with the Dolphins but more importantly it shows the team's confidence in the player's return from a ruptured Achilles in 2015.

Great news.

I'm a huge Wake fan so I'm not gonna hate on it, but I hope they're right about his leg, or the 10 mil in guaranteed money will sting a bit.
If anyone can beat the odds, it's Wake, I know DJ will be happy about this.djphinfan and Pandarilla like this. -

Good for him. He earned it. Even if he doesn't play to his previous over achieving level I think this very young team is better with him in the locker room. And on the field.

Glad I bought his retro jersey last year -
I'm proud nobody threw out a cliche' porn joke given the title of this thread...You guys are growing up so fast (verclempt).

Sounds like a Win-Win for both Wake and the team. I have to think them seeing him already recovered from the Achilles injury made this deal possible (he does seem to be a freak of nature). Now, we just need to get this man into the playoffs!

Great to hear, after the season ended I thought for sure he wasn't coming back. One of my favorites.

Fine...I will be that guy who thinks that this is a bad contract. Emotionally, it is nice to have Wake here longer. But from a talent standpoint, the Dolphins need to get younger and faster..not older and slower.
And yes, I am 100% hoping that Wake proves me wrong.Clark Kent likes this. -
when this particular body type meets this type of very unique work ethic combined with that age and discipline you don't bet against the body,2socks likes this. -
Well considering he was going to be on the books for almost $10 million this year as it was. All it sounds like is they guaranteed it and spread out the money. Probably covers this year and next.

I really didn't like the pass rushing prospects coming out in the draft either. Floyd had potential as a natural bender, but I'm kinda glad they didn't aggressively go after the DE or RB positions because of this.
Better to keep him and have at the very least a feel good moment than to jettison him and run the risk of having his replacement underperform while he possibly thrives somewhere else, all the while looking like an unloyal, unappreciative organization. That's what I would call suffering in both worlds. -
Wake extended. Where's lmeister for the 'Wake's dong is big enough already' joke?
Actualy, forget that.
Where's lmeister??? -

Love it. Reward your best players.

If he has lost a step, he's not going to get to the QB, so he wouldn't even be very useful as a situational guy, his game is reliant on speed and explosion, if he loses that, he basically loses everything.
I think there's a real possibility that Wake retires this year, because if he can't get it done, I think he's the type of guy that will just retire, but like I was saying I am a huge Wake fan, so I won't hate on the move, Wake will retire a Dolphin.dolfan7171 likes this. -
There are more athletically-gifted DTs in the NFL today and more teams use them to penetrate rather than protect LBs. This trend may mean that it's easier to find a pressure DT than it is to develop a 250 lb edge player into a well-rounded DE. -
What I will do though, is celebrate you being right by adding something to my sig,, like DJPHINFAN WAKE FAITH, or some such.
So what would be the bar in your opinion, were you thinking a sack total? -
