Jared Odrick and Koa Misi will be signed by the Miami Dolphins. I guarantee you this will happen. So why are you all wondering, some of you even sweating, whether it is getting done or not.
The Dolphins will begin practice Friday and chances are good both players will be on the field or at least in the fold. Both have offers on the table.
Odrick has a couple of offers in that he can pick one of either pact, whichever suits him best, and either gets him to relatively fair number within the slot he occupies. His agent Drew Rosenhaus and the Dolphins negotiators haven't been talking everyday lately but will talk later today or tomorrow morning. Misi, so close to a deal on at least one occassion earlier this week, is still working on language and details and crossing every "i" and dotting every "t." (Yeah, that was supposed to be funny.)
So both of these guys will probably get done by Friday afternoon. And if not, they'll get signed sometime over the weekend. Or they'll probably get done next week.
I do not foresee a protracted, clumsy, uncomfortable, heated holdout for either of these guys.
So chill.
Yes, fans find it hard to relax about these things because they want to pound their chest and feel at ease over the fact their two most prized rookies are in camp and won't miss even one second of a meeting or a practice.
And don't get me wrong, it is important that these guys don't delay the inevitable.
But with Odrick we're talking about the 28th overall selection, for God's sake. We're not talking a Jake Long contract here. The 27th overall selection -- New England's Devin McCourty -- signed a five-year, $10 million deal that can be worth a maximum of $13 million. The deal includes $7.825 million guaranteed.
So, basically, Odrick should get a five-year deal with approximately $7.8 million guaranteed.
It will get done! Sure, there is pressure on the Dolphins to get Odrick signed because they lost Phillip Merling, and the legion of replacements they've been signing lately are just bridge players to get them over an unexpected hump.
But, you know what? There is also pressure on agent Drew Rosenhaus to get Odrick in camp. Rosenhaus is local and he values the way his dealings with the Dolphins are portrayed in the media because players read those accounts. A holdout is bad business for the agent as well as the team.
So it benefits both sides to get this thing done.
Misi should be signed already. It boggles the mind he is not. Fact is, as stated above the two sides seemed agreed to a deal earlier this week only to encounter last-minute wording issues. The money part shouldn't be the main concern here.
Misi, a second-round pick, was the 40th player selected. Players selected at No. 39 (Arrelious Benn) and at No. 41 (Torrell Troup) both are signed.
Misi will sign a four-year deal that will pay him between $4.5-$4.8 million overall with the guaranteed money coming in around $2.7 million.
I predict Misi will be done by the time the Dolphins get on the field tomorrow. And if not, don't sweat it. It will get done.
Both contracts will get done!
Follow me on twitter.
Misi is gonna be a beast!

So the overall message here is that the deals will get done...sometime...sooner rather than later...maybe before camp starts, maybe not...either way don't worry, it'll get done. Thanks for the heads up.
/sarcasm off
I think the reason we're worried is that there are so very few practices in training camp and fins fans are hoping odrick can be a starter at a new position (going from 4-3 dt in college to 3-4 end) and we absolutely need misi to be a starter at a mostly new position (he played lots of end in college and lined up with a hand on the ground most of the time). And it's not like depth behind misi is good or even average. So yeah, not only does every day in camp count, but every single snap counts.

LONG LIFT....meaning: What a jets fan puts in his mouth on a daily basis and swallows. I dont think czonka or morris would agree with you. Plus do we really need to go there with all the great talant the jets drafted..... Oh thats right there a none. Wait I got one ????? No he wasnt any good...AH how about ???? No no good either I got it????? No not what was expected, guess i was right the first time.
Posted by: TRICKY | July 29, 2010 at 12:20 PM
I care about this stuff because it could have been done weeks ago. Its the type of things fan see and just get angry that all these millionares and billionares can't get stuff done on time.
And I don't mean just with the Dolphins. The way business is done in the NFL is so messed up and its hard to take anyones side when it comes to labor negotiations. They are going to take football away from us next year and it pisses me off so much.

The Jests have had 2 first round draft picks (in 50 years) become a hall of fame player. One was John Riggins (who isn't even in the Jest wing of honor) and the other is a drunk panty hose wearing kissing bandit... In 50 years they have 54 1st round picks and only 20 have played for the Wets more than 5 years...
With the 9th pick the Jests Pick - HAHAHAH
Best Jest pick ever - with the 24th pick the Jesters pass on Dan Marino and select Ken O'brien - duh that sums up their franchise right there...
I am coming back to be the new GM...

Jets are masters of Drafting...
Note they gave up Scrubs to get Sanchez.
In the same draft, Tuna reached for Pat White and Patrick Turner.
You guys had to give 2 2nd rds to get a #1 receiver after bombing it with Patrick Turner and ERNESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
