Actually, they agreed to terms with Jake, not Chris.

I do think it's messed up that the 1st overall term can negotiate with players but no one else can. It should be either everyone or no one (and almost certainly just no one).

But damn, you'd think the Dolphins could have done better than giving Jake Long over $11 fucking million dollars a year, $30 million of which is guaranteed. If that doesn't make him higher paid than Walter Jones, Steve Hutchison, Olin Kreutz, and so on, I'll be amazed. What a ridiculous payday. If Long so much as allows a sack he won't be worth what they're paying him. He'd better pan out or the Dolphins will be eating this for years.
