Sam young signs new deal

[uk_dolfan]

@AdamHBeasley: Can confirm that Sam Young has signed a one-year contract extension with the Dolphins. He's appeared in 7 games this year, with 1 start.

Not sexy but he came in and did a solid job this year. He did a decebt job helping our run game as an extra lineman and I believe he played more snaps v the Bills than Mario Williams did.

@ArmandoSalguero: Sam Young signs 1 year extension with Dophins worth $1,150,000 with $325K total guaranteed.

A good signing if it is for back-up money.

Serious question . . . why on earth did him and his agent do this now?

I mean cool . . . nice little backup tackle option for us . . . but from his standpoint seems like he could do a little better for himself by waiting until free agency (unless the deal is some what decent).

Oh well, welcome back Sam Young.

Albert got hurt while kicking FG with his left leg.

I kid, I kid.

 

[hoops]

Keep albert and tackle should be good for 2017

Hopefully this is 4th tackle money

Nobody was ever going to give him more than the vet min. Now he has some certainity over the next few months

@ArmandoSalguero: Sam Young extension is worth $200,000 to sign now and next year is a $50,000 workout and $900,000 salary, one year extension. Good for him.

A little more than the vet minimum lol

Makes more sense. Good for him.

Young played pretty well for our 3rd option at LT. He and Urbik have been the most impressive guys to step up as reserves this season, IMO.

Steen also deserves an honorable mention, of course.

 

[hoops]

Thats more 3rd tackle money

Wonder if this plays into any albert decision

I sure hope we dont cut albert

 

[russianbear]

I know some of his family and I personally am really happy for him. He's bounced around a bit and getting an extension like this for a bubble o lineman is a great thing.

Fins up!

Perhaps this is a sign (???) we will be a tad more proactive signing our own players and do what we can to keep the core of the roster intact.

Other than that -- seems like a fair deal all the way around.

Keep hitting singles and load the bases -- we'll score enough runs.

Personally this a wise move. He can play all positions on the OL (LT, LG, C, RG, RT) hes keeper. Good job.

For those wondering . . . with Sam Young turning into a 7 year veteran next season . . . the veteran minimum was $900,000. It was only $760,000 for a 6 year vet in 2016 . . . which is what he got.

So like Armando is saying . . .he is essentially stable for one season, gets a $390,000 raise from 2016 . . . and $250,000 extra than the vet minimum he may of been faced with had he waited for free agency with more competition.

Good deal for both sides . . . probably better for him.
