Next up, Jake Long?

It'll be a serious win for Ireland if he gets Jake back at a reduced price.  I really hope the dude gets his game back I'd hate for him to turn into Tony Boselli.

Anyone else think that is really a 2 year deal?  If Jake doesn't stay healthy, I don't see them paying him 9.25 million in that third year.

They would be on the hook for at least 4.

Well if they cut him year three they would still have to pay the $4 mil guarantee, plus the cap hit would be $6.5 mil.  Expensive hit to cut him, but if he isn't playing well they would have to.

It's essentially a 3 year deal which wouldn't kill them if they wanted it to be a 2 year deal.

Fins and Winston can't agree on contract terms according to Miami Herald

The Dolphins continue to have offensive tackle Eric Winston on the radar. He will sign with the team if the club convinces him to take a short-term (perhaps one-year) deal that is not for huge money. Winston, obviously, continues to believe he will get more somewhere.

Winston is close to a deal with the Cowboys according to Adam Schefter
