Dolphins sign first round pick Vontae Davis

by Matty I on Jul 31, 2009 10:07 AM EDT in 2012 Miami Dolphins News

As expected, the Dolphins have come to terms with their first round draft pick - cornerback Vontae Davis - according to the Palm Beach Post. The deal is reportedly a five year deal. No financial details are available at the moment.

The Sun-Sentinel did reach Davis for comment. Davis said, "I wanted to be at camp. I'm excited about this. My intention is to go in there and start bonding with my teammates and start getting ready for the football season."

This means that the Dolphins have just two rookies to sign before players report tomorrow or, at the latest, before the first practice on Sunday - Pat White and Chris Clemons. But the report from the Post does say that both players are "expected" to be signed in time for camp.

And kudos to Edgar Thompson for breaking this story.

That’s great news for the Dolphins. Pat White could be a bit tricky. Since he was actually selected with a higher draft pick than Chad Henne was a year ago (and with inflation), White will be making more money than Henne. How does that affect the dynanics of the QB situation????

Damn right!

Hopefully P-Dub isn’t letting the “I’m a QB so I need more money” concept get to him and demanding way more than his “slot” says he should get!
