No holdout on horizon: Odrick, Dolphins talking

dolfan7171New MemberOPLooks like we wont have any holdouts during Traning Camp:
With training camp set to start the afternoon of July 30th, the Dolphins are obviously working on having all their players present but as of this morning two rookies -- first-rounder Jared Odrick and second-rounder Koa Misi -- are still not in the stable.
The Dolphins have made contract offers to both, according to a source. The same source tells me the club is not waiting for the typical slotting method -- waiting on a player ahead and behind to sign -- to get their deals done, particularly with Odrick.
The team and Drew Rosenhaus, the agent for the No. 28 overall selection, "have been working on the deal," and "are still optimistic about getting Jared into camp on time" the source said.
Rosenhaus was unavailable for comment.
Although nothing seems imminent at this point, there seem to be no out-of-the-ordinary obstacles preventing Odrick's deal from being done by July 30th's first training camp practice.
That is obviously good news as the Dolphins want Odrick competing with veteran Phillip Merling as each vies for a starting defensive end job.
The Dolphins have already signed A.J. Edds, Nolan Carroll, Reshad Jones, Chris McCoy and Austin Spitler. The club agreed to terms with third-round pick John Jerry on Monday. As previously reported, he gets a four-year contract worth $2.64 million.

Yeah, I agree with you on that one man. He doesn't seem like he would be looking for a big time deal. I think he is one of those guys who just want to get on the field. This should be quick. Thanks for posting.

although Rosenhaus is his agent, but to counter that, Miami seems to have a pretty good relationship with him...

GARDENHEADsubscriberBelieve it or not, GMs like dealing with Rosenhaus. He's a straight-shooter. He's brilliant at taking the bullets for his greedy clients.
Tanking is like taking a Greyhound bus cross-country. Sure, it may eventually get you where you want to go, but it’s messy and unpleasant and uncomfortable, it stinks, the entire time you’ll be wishing you weren’t there, and not everybody along for the ride is going to make it to the end. - Quote stolen from Deadspin

That is why I am believing that this would not be a problem come traning camp.

There should be no problem then working out a good deal.

dolphan117luxury_boxDrew has a history of getting his guys signed and into camp on time. I dont like the guy at a personal level but he understands the business and unlike some agents tries very hard to get his rookies into camp on time.
anlgpNew Member1st round picks are no joke.
The team expects the pick to be what the NFL is all about.
The pick expects the team to treat them like recent 1st rounders.
Both want what's best for them and what's best for the team. Striking the deal is the tough part because the organization ultimately has to think for itself and the player has to think about their life.
Good to see it's looking like it won't be a holdout. Thanks for posting.
"A man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus, suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering great or little. Therefore, the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative." - Viktor Frankl
