Rookie linebacker, JD Folsom, drafted in the 7th round out of Weber State (the wildcats), has signed his rookie contract.It is valued at 4 years, $1.812 M with a $62 K signing bonus.
2009: $ 310, 000
2010: $ 395, 000
2011: $ 480, 000
2012: $ 565, 000
Folsom is considered by many, including myself, to be a 'bubble' player and will be fighting for a roster spot in Training Camp.
Tin, you're quicker than Mikey with the news. You've been full of info lately, thanks.
ReplyDeleteHey, I saw in one of your entries yesterday that your kid was having a birthday this weekend, Happy Birthday. My youngest is having her 14th on Sunday, do they share a birthday?
Where is Weber State?
ReplyDeletethanks for the birthday wishes, his b-day isn't this weekend, but it is in July, which is what I actually said (don't worry, herdfan read it the same way too, thanks herdfan as well). His is the 21st. Last I checked we are doing a pirate theme....but lately he's been thinking he's a lion, so who knows.
ReplyDeleteIt's in Utah. The Dolphins only go after players from Utah, Ohio State or the Big East, lol.
ReplyDeleteI know you said you went to USC or were a fan anyway, I can't name more than one USC guy on the team, though several of our 'bubble' players are from California....
Right on, I hope not a Detroit Lion that would be scary!
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, on the Sirius show I was listening to, they took about 10 phone calls from fans, and at least 5 of them were from Lions fans. I suppose they have a lot of concern for the upcoming season. But not ONE of them even mentioned Matthew Stafford.
ReplyDeleteI think some of them think they'll be the Dolphins of this year. Ah-No. They must have high hopes for Stafford, right?
ReplyDeleteIt pains me to say that Cam did only two good things:
1. Got rid of Duante (he's done)
2. Got Ronnie running like a mo-fo.
I'd like to see jD make this team and turn into a starter. He would barely make a dent in the cap space. We need players like him, and Bess to be on this team. Guys like that make everyone better. Who better to push a veteran than a young hungrey kid from Nowhere U. That's a good thing.
ReplyDeleteAgreed. He could eventually replace Akin on the cheap. Hopefully he can contribute on special teams and stick around long enough to get a shot. We need more backup ILBs. Torbor hasn't really shown me anything worth starter consideration and makes a lot of money for a backup. Too much IMO.
ReplyDeleteThat picture looks less like football the more I look at it...
ReplyDeleteTin, how do you scoop SS, PBP & MH when you are all the way out in CA? (I'm not asking for any clasified info, just in general. ) Good job. It's come to the point where I check with you before checking their sites! LOL
ReplyDeleteI'd like to say it's because I have Jeff Ireland's phone number, but the truth is it's a combination of sniffing around every possible source and the fact that Armando, Omar, Berardino and Harvey are apparently on vacation ;)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind if Armando's was permanent. That guy is a clown who has a very high opinion of himself. Why I have no idea? He is the tabloid reporter for the Phins.
ReplyDeleteI see my girl is doing well........
ReplyDeleteMeant Rockphin's avitar...
ReplyDeleteCharlie, I am not allowed to discuss my avatar any more. It seems that it is distracting and I have been accused of not having any "football" comments, only talking about my avatar.
