Last year, the Miami Dolphins sent tackle Jake Long, defensive tackle Randy Starks, linebacker Cameron Wake, and long snapper John Denney to Hawaii.

big....

Need you to shorten your sig. We try to keeps sigs to 5 lines, as they mess up the alignment in busy threads (when you reply multiple times, etc.). If you can just put your draft plans onto one line, you’ll be fine.

Thanks.
