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.

Posted by: Stanley | July 24, 2009 at 12:43 AM
The state dept deleted the pages, they still will not acknowledge that Mando is being held by Al-Qaeda..
Posted by: Cuban menace | July 24, 2009 at 07:17 AM
Last night somebody posted saying that when I post evil starts to happen. I had nothing to do with the deleted pages. Later on I post to the great Odinseye as to why are they afraid of me? Then all of the sudden...the pages disappeared.

URGENT-EYES ONLY
Agent Soiled Bottom
Capt. Menace
Fellow operatives
I regret to inform you the mission is a complete and utter failure. We've been completely infiltrated and compromised at all levels.
I have been illegally detained and informed that we must cease and desist immediately.
It turns out that we have a nulti-million dollar domestic survielance apparatus here in the republic. Much the same as the ones being operated in Iran and Iraq. The "monitoring" seems to be triggered by key words, and or phrases. There for under no circumstances shall we type words such as:
Al-Qaeda-Cells-Bombs-Iran-Kill-Iraq-Waterboard-Afghanistan-Heroin-Viet Nam-Rubber-Middleeast-Oil
Remember my fellow comrades, whatever you do, DO NOT TYPE THESE WORDS!!!!

If I am the essence of evil so be it. Cubano or Mando ? What makes me evil? Is it that I speak the truth about the clowns on this blog.
I always tell the truth even when I lie. Guess the movie.
Posted by: Ace | July 24, 2009 at 06:17 PM
the sixth sense ?
Posted by: Cubano | July 24, 2009 at 06:19 PM
if you tell the truth tell me what the most you love about the plumber ?
Posted by: Cubano | July 24, 2009 at 06:22 PM
The movie is Scarface. Plumber... dont know what to say about him.
Posted by: Ace | July 24, 2009 at 06:25 PM
scarface was an evil movie but the sixth sense was a good movie.
ACE you are powerful
Posted by: ALoco | July 24, 2009 at 06:26 PM
Scarface a good movie about a poor guy from Cuba making it big in the land of opportunity.
Posted by: Ace | July 24, 2009 at 06:29 PM
he was very good in this movie coming from nicaragua
Posted by: ALoco | July 24, 2009 at 06:32 PM
ace,aloco, did any of you saw the the god father ?
Posted by: kack | July 24, 2009 at 06:35 PM
what's going on Ace? scarface was good. godfather 1 and 2 were good. 3 not alot of people liked but i thought it was alright.
Posted by: sammo | July 24, 2009 at 06:52 PM
why no one can name a good movie beside the god father ?
could be that you guys live in the old days or may be you are very low in brain power or could be some one give you the the god father for free long time ago and you can't afford to see a new movie ?
Posted by: Aloco | July 24, 2009 at 06:59 PM
the hangover was good. transformers 2 was good. road to perdition was good. smokin' aces and watchmen were great.
Posted by: sammo | July 24, 2009 at 07:12 PM

A recent Mando Twitter:
"Just back from a week in the Carolina high country. What a beautiful place. I'm back at work next week. And camp opens Aug. 2 - in nine days"
Hope he had a good time.
Posted by: jon | July 24, 2009 at 08:16 PM
Odinseye or Sammo,
I saw a movie the other night that I have not seen in years. It was called Stick with Burt Reynolds. Your thoughts on this one.
Posted by: Ace | July 24, 2009 at 08:55 PM
Ace
Mando did get pissed. I just checked the date and time stamp on his tweet. Then I checked the date and timestamp of the first post AFTER the deletions.
Coincidence?
Posted by: odinseye | July 24, 2009 at 09:02 PM
Ace
I don't remember ever seeing it. I don't know how I missed it.
Posted by: odinseye | July 24, 2009 at 09:07 PM
Armando
I can understand your frustration. We give you a bunch of crap for leaving us with this Hartline stuff. Then you completely strike out on Sean Smith's signing.
However you could have manned up and posted something about the deletions. After all your by line reads:
Everything Dolphin: No subject is taboo, no deadlines, no space crunch.
Posted by: odinseye | July 24, 2009 at 09:14 PM
Odinseye,
Good investigative work. Conspiracy theories. I like that. I believe he has a Napoleonic attitude or something. He is letting you know he is boss
Posted by: Ace | July 24, 2009 at 09:50 PM
i think mando was in argentina with bill clinton gettin some exotic tail. i did not have international sex with that woman. carlito's way was good. heat too. been awhile since i've seen both.
Posted by: sammo | July 24, 2009 at 10:13 PM
Odinseye,
I dont doubt you at all. Mando has deleted some of my posts in the past. No where near as bad as some on here. I beleive he sometimes posts using other names and I call him out on it. Of course he cannot respond or else we would know. He will give off subtle clues so I know it is him. I cannot tell you because then he will stop. I wont be shocked if this post is deleted, because the truth is out there.
Posted by: Ace | July 24, 2009 at 10:14 PM
odinseye, this movie desire is one great movie,brando didn't change his cloth much, he defined the word COOL in this movie.
the other movie i love is THE WATER FRONT .
JUST BEAUTIFUL w/ him in many great moments and writing .
mad dog afternoon w/ his rother alfredo from the god father is one great movie
ps....notice all these movies are black and white.
heat is a classic when a new actress turn the heat on us without getting nude or semi nude.
Posted by: Aloco | July 24, 2009 at 10:18 PM
dirty dancing is a classic
the first three movies that arnold acted before he became famous they are classic movies,just rent any one and you will laugh like never before from arnold speaking.
