| Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown Close To Signing His Tender | | |
Dolphins RB Ronnie Brown said Wednesday that his complex contract situation is close to being resolved. When asked whether he has signed his restricted free agent tender worth approximately $3.97 million, Brown said, "Not yet … but, yeah, pretty much. Pretty much." Brown signed a unique contract in 2005 that would be a five-year deal if the NFL and players union had agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement before the 2010 season, but a sixth option year would be tacked on if the two sides had not agreed. The two sides obviously have not agreed on a new CBA (it expires after 2010), but the Dolphins ultimately declined Brown's $5 million option, making him a restricted free agent, then offered Brown a first-round tender for the 2010 season, which he said he will sign soon. Brown, who returned to the field Wednesday after suffering a Lisfranc fracture in the midsection of his right foot last November, wants a long-term contract, but isn't bitter that one won't be coming soon. "You obviously think about as a player, for stability as far as the future and all of that and we play a rough sport," Brown said. "I really haven't been thinking about it too much because it's one of those things that ultimately I can't control. I can only worry about what I can control and that's how I'm going through rehab and working in the weight room and then things out here."
