From my understanding the Dolphins are asking him to sign something that is unprecented for a top ten pick, which does involve money as it involves whether parts of the deal are guaranteed or not with offset language.
My perception is the Dolphins are the ones causing the situation and for their own PR I highly suggest they not try to be the groundbreakers of new contract language for top ten picks and get this guy signed already....the reputation of this organization has already dropped to an all-time low and this is only making the reputation around the country and with other players look worse and worse.
