The Dolphins waited a lot longer than their peers to start signing draft picks Drew Kaser Jersey , but they are making up for lost time on Friday.
Shortly after word that sixth-round pick Cornell Armstrong agreed to his deal came multiple reports that first-round pick Minkah Fitzpatrick has also signed with the team. Fitzpatrick’s deal is for four years with a team option for a fifth season.
Fitzpatrick, who was the 11th overall pick, won the Thorpe Award as the best defensive back in the country in recognition of his work at Alabama last season. Fitzpatrick saw time at both cornerback and safety for the Crimson Tide and showed a knack for rushing the passer as well Alan Page Jersey , which should lead to work in a variety of roles with the Dolphins as well.
The Dolphins were likely waiting for June 1 to start signing picks because of the salary cap ramifications involved with Ndamukong Suh‘s release earlier this offseason. Suh was designated a post-June 1 cut, which meant the team had to had to wait to realize the cap space associated with the move.
Miami has six draft picks left to sign with their mandatory minicamp taking place next week.
Cardinals General Manager Steve Keim’s DUI arrest can’t be undone, but one note from the police report that went public on Tuesday will be corrected.
In the initial report filed by the Chandler Tedric Thompson Jersey , Arizona Police Department, an officer indicated that Keim said he was the director of security for the Cardinals and that he worked with a police officer named Sean McKenzie. The report included a note that the only Sean McKenzie known to the officer died in 2014 and that he believed Keim was referencing that man.
The Chandler Police Department announced on Wednesday that the report will be corrected after a review of the footage of the arrest. Per the statement, Keim did not say that he was the director of security.
“After reviewing the BWC footage Antonio Gates Jersey , Mr. Keim stated that a person by the name of Sean McKenzie was their director of security and that he worked for the Arizona Cardinals. The officer will be completing a supplemental report to make that correction.”
The Cardinals’ vice president of security is actually named Sean Kinsey.
There’s still no word on Keim’s blood alcohol concentration at the time of his arrest and it is believed that any discipline handed down by the league will take that number into account.
