Fiedler's fee
If Brian Griese steps up Monday night when the Dolphins take on the Chargers, it could spell a difficult road ahead for incumbent Jay Fiedler. Judging by the terms of his contract, a bonus coming this offseason could prevent the Dolphins from keeping him aboard under the current rate.
SportsLine.com has learned that, on April 15, the Dolphins must pick up a $2 million option bonus for their starting quarterback or release him to prevent the hit. In addition, his salary for 2004 jumps to $3.7 million.
Miami protected itself with the structure. If Fiedler didn't play lights-out, they have sufficient cap reasons to release or redo him. If he suddenly turned into a Pro Bowl quarterback, they would have him at a rate Fiedler and the team would likely find quite acceptable.
