Just wondering, but since the rookie camp starts July 22, should we be worried yet that we haven't signed all of our rookies?

There seems to be a conspicuous lack of news on the signing front.
 
I'm not worried yet, many signings seem to get done the last day or two before camp begins. However, I am dissapointed. I really thought the front office was going to get things done earlier this year, especially after the way they got some of our later round picks signed so quickly.
 
I'd be more concerned about it if we were one of only a few teams without a first round signing. This is more of a league wide issue than a dolphins front office issue. Beacuse of slotting, we just have to wait for more deals to get done. As of today, I'm pretty sure only one or two first rounders have signed.

I agree. It seems that all the teams or agents are dragging it out this year. :tumbleweed:

Most of the other teams in the league aren't asking rookies to report to camp until about a week after our rookies have to report to camp.
 
I'll be worried when rookie camp opens (21st? 22nd?), but only Olsen (Chi) and Staley (SF) have signed deals

I'd be concerned after half of the teams have signed their 1st rounders. If we're down to the last quarter, then a training camp holdout is almost assured.
 
the players we drafted dont seem to concerned with their paychecks which is great so itll get done soon some agents are on vacation i know satele was in hawaii so maybe that prolonged his a little

Well, I can guarantee their agents are, even if only to make themselves look better to potential future clients.

Satele is the one guy I really want there from day one since he is the most likely to start right away and C is a tough position. Ginn can still contribute as a returner while he learns the offense and we traded for Green so Beck doesn't have to be rushed.
 
Not yet, But you should worry when everyone else starts signing theres and we still look no where in sight of a resolution
