The Dolphins are slowly but surely working their way toward signing all of their draft picks this summer and today another rookie is in the house, as they say, because receiver Brian Hartline has agreed to terms with the team.
The coming signing, first reported by Brian McIntyre on Mac's Football Blog, brings the number of Dolphins rookies who have either agreed to or signed their first NFL contracts to five, including both wide receivers.
Hartline's four-year contract could be worth just under $4 million if he reaches all his incentives and escalator clauses. The actual worth of the deal is more along the lines of $2.25 million with a guaranteed bonus in the $500,000 neighborhood.
No further financial details are currently available. The Dolphins will announce the signing once Hartline actually puts his signature on the document, which could by the end of this week.
Patrick Turner, John Nalbone, Andrew Gardner and JD Folsom have signed previously. This is good news but not exactly man-bites-dog stuff as the Dolphins have had all of their rookies signed by the end of the first weekend of training camp in each of the past two years.
General Manager Jeff Ireland continues to work to make certain the streak is extended to three consecutive years. The Dolphins take the field for their first training camp practice Aug. 2.
First-rounder Vontae Davis, second-rounders Pat White and Sean Smith and fifth-round pick Chris Clemons have yet to agree to deals.
By the way, if you followed on twitter you would have gotten the heads up that I had posted this blog seconds after I did it. You could have gotten it on your phone or blackberry device. I'd be more a part of your life!
OK, so maybe that's more than you want. But you get the idea. Follow me on twitter.

Uncle Sam got 30 days for stealing coins out of Miami Herald paper racks. I should stop by his house and make sure his women is ok.

I am honored by all the scum posting and using my name. "You are my kind of scum" Who said this quote and what movie?
No problem Sammo and jaksin. So Odinseye I resent you talking about f@cking th devil statement, because I am the devil according to Aloco.

Some observations:
1) The Toronto Sunshine girl (Toronto Sun newspaper) is quite fetching today. Unlike the usual skanks they profile, she is quite pretty and appears to have natural breasts. I like that.
2) I've come up with a project today. I think I'll make Dodger Stadium out of Legos.
3) I just ran 2 miles (maybe a bit more than 2 miles) in 16:20. I'm not very happy with the time. Last year, I was down to about 15:20 for 2 miles, but I'll get there.
4) My U.S. citizenship swearing in ceremony is rapidly approaching. I think I'm gonna get some really good sex after from my wife. The other day she called me "Mr. American."
5) I prefer to eat my cereal dry (Apple Jacks, Froot Loops, Cap'n Crunch). I never drink milk. It's yucky.
6) The other day Cuban Menace asked me what it's like to be so popular. My answer: I don't have to tell YOU what that feels like.

Nathaniel,
I too prefer the au naturel. While I do try not to discriminate, implant or otherwise, I tend to shun the gravitationally challenged breast.

Posted by: jaksin | July 27, 2009 at 01:59 AM
i love to think goats are smarter than dogs,dogs are really dumb and they aren't a good pet
Posted by: Mr.Bunglito | July 27, 2009 at 02:07 AM
speaking of sheep, a guy walks out of a bar with a sheep under his arm. he walks down the street to his house walks up to the door and pounds on the door. his wife swings the door open. guy says this is the pig ive been f*@&!ng. wife says thats no pig you dumb a&$, guy says im not talking to you!
Posted by: jaksin | July 27, 2009 at 02:09 AM

Mr. Bunglito
Come on now. It wasn't the best joke ever. But it was worth a laugh.
Posted by: odinseye | July 27, 2009 at 02:24 AM
mr.bunglito. i did it again. now ive went and let you down to. im trying to change. i mean it. thanks for the high hopes mention though.
Posted by: jaksin | July 27, 2009 at 02:31 AM
i know guys, it was weak. but lets be honest any joke with a guy and a sheep in it is bound for a bad turn.
Posted by: jaksin | July 27, 2009 at 02:37 AM
Baltimore can't seem to keep a receiver. Maybe we should try to unload E. Wilford to them for a low round pick.
Posted by: drsamii | July 27, 2009 at 10:58 AM
drsamii
That's a great idea. But a low rounder?
Considering Ca-Moron is their offensive co-ordinator I think we could get at least an upper mid!
Posted by: odinseye | July 27, 2009 at 01:04 PM
Is it just me or does anyone else feel the gaps between the Draft, ota's and training camp are pure torture.
Am I a true fan? An overly obsessive rabid degenerate? Either way I'm agonizing for the moment I start breaking glass, arguing with Jet's fans and dumping beer over peoples heads. Come on opening day!
Posted by: odinseye | July 27, 2009 at 03:50 PM
`Odinseye,
I am the same way. I want to see opposing QBs getting hurt and knocked out games. I want to see Brady in pain. I want Sanchez in pain. Sorry gopats, I won't leave you out. I want you in pain too.
Posted by: Ace | July 27, 2009 at 03:57 PM
i cheered when brady got hurt last year. thought it was about time they had a setback. i never thought cassell would play like he did but when you've got moss and welker out there that helps alot. he is gonna need that mobility in k.c. cause i seem him running for his life everytime k.c. throws.
Posted by: sammo | July 27, 2009 at 04:10 PM
i saw the hary potter movie and it's ok .i saw a guy in that movie looks like Ace , dirty and devilish face w/ hint of mint .
Posted by: Mr.Bunglito | July 27, 2009 at 04:19 PM
Sammo Ace
When I heard the Dolphins hired Parcell's three words came to mind. YES YES YES!
The reason I like Parcell's so much is his "BRAND" of football.
It doesn't matter which position your talking about, Parcell's puts a premium on BIG, FAST, and NASTY!
Posted by: odinseye | July 27, 2009 at 04:38 PM
Sammo,
When I heard Brady was down a voice in my head, sounding eerily similar to Quagmire's said: "AWW-RIGHT"!
Posted by: odinseye | July 27, 2009 at 04:42 PM
**Breaking News**
This just in:
Pat White Still Unsigned
Sources close to the team have informed me that contract negotiations are at a standstill. White and his agent are seeking a deal comprable to that of Chad Henne.
The Dolphin front office apparently feels that's just a bit steep.
Considering that Henne's the heir apparent and White the Wildcat/backup/wr I think they may be right.
Posted by: odinseye | July 27, 2009 at 05:22 PM
who's pat white ? did he ever showed us any thing of value ?
did he ever won any like marino ?
