Dolphins sign OT Jake Long

Offensive tackle Jake Long has been signed as the Miami Dolphins' top pick. Long is a 6-7, 315-pound OT from Michigan. The Dolphins had sent out signals that they were leaning toward defense but eventually went with the offensive lineman. Reportedly, Long is getting $30 million in guaranteed money.

People can't pay their mortgage payments etc. and Miami guarantees this little boy [ not his fault ] 30 mill guaranteed . That means [ I think ] if he has a stroke in the 1st exhibition game. Never mind.

I would imagine they have a pretty big insurance policy out on his contract. Which is pretty much standard SOP nowadays.
