Xtra 690 in San Diego (Hacksaw) reported tonight the Sammy Knight was in Miami today talking contract again with the Dolphins. Thats all he knew..........no details on amount, length, etc....but he did say the Fins want to get the deal done.

Supposedly according to aqua we're offering only a little above the vet's minimum on a one year deal, with a promise that should he pan out and be productive for us, we will take care of him next year with a longterm contract.
He also, supposedly, has offers on the table already that are bigger than ours but he still wants to try and get something done with us.
I hope they get something done soon. What I would do if I were the coaches is pay him a little above the veterans minimum but pay the premium on a one year injury insurance policy so that he can cash in if something happens preventing him from getting a good contract from us next year if he does well.

Also, since it's that time of year and draft position is a hot topic......I thought I'd point out that Sammy Knight was an undrafted free agent who had never played safety until he reached the NFL. :)
