    Watching Fox and Jay Glazer says that Bess signed a two-year extension making him the highest paid slot receiver in the league. He did not say for how much.

    Thoughts?

    I don't care how much it's worth.... he deserves whatever he's getting.

    I have nothing negative to say about Davone Bess and doubt I ever will.

    It was very necessary, he is amazing. If the Dolphins can get their special teams together like today for the rest of the season, and find the end zone they should be in good shape. Bess is a big reason for that, and a hard worker who doesn't complain and you know gives 100%.

    Just hope and pray he wasn't playing at this level strictly for the money.

    Sounds great to me. One less guy to sign and one I would rather not hit the market. Thank you for posting this info!

    Davone Bess gets 2 year extension

    It was reported by Jay Glazer on the NFL postgame show on Fox that Bess has got a contract extension making him the highest paid slot receiver. Hopefully more details get out soon.

    Edit:Merge please lol

    :lol: I said this in the GD thread today after Bess scored the TD, or maybe it was after a 3rd down conversion, I pulled a Gus Johnson... "Get this man a new contract!" Sure enough, we did. Thank God!! Bess is worth every penny IMO.

    Congrats to him, what a great story for him. Undrafted, fights to make the team, makes it, and performs now beyond everyone's wildest dreams, to now a bigtime NFL WR. Great story, good for him!

    The rest of the NFL is taking notice of Bess so its a good move to tie him up before one of our rivals gets their mitts on him.

    He has proved to be quite durable too and you know this team likes that.:yes:

    That's always the fear, but I really believe Bess is genuinely a hard worker and it's in his DNA.

    I still think Bess plays more Wide out than slot....at least that is what I have noticed anyway.

    I've been saying Bess should start over Hartline. I think Bess can play both wide opposite Marshall and slot when we go three wide. I know Hartline is faster but Bess is much more consistent and can churn up extra yards in space. Hartline is more like an acrobatic posession WR with some speed and quickness but does not have consistency. Should be used on passing downs.

    Welp its time to pony up and get a Bess jersey.
    I was waiting to make sure he was the Fin for years.

    Deserves it. Good for Bess and glad to see us lock someone up instead of letting him go to the competition! He is only getting better.

    I love what Bess does on the field and have been a big fan since watching him play for Hawaii. He finds a way to get open and rarely drops it. Money well spent....I might buy a Bess jersey next.

    If I can manage to get laid tonight this will have been the best day of football season so far...

    Ah screw it, I'm not getting laid, the Mrs is already snoring...

    But it's still the best day of football season so far.

    that's a well deserved raise for him. my only thoughts other than that are: why not more than 2 years?
