Dolphins | Reach Agreement with QB Tannehill

Adam Schefter, from ESPN, reports via Twitter that the Dolphins have come to an agreement with first-round pick, QB Ryan Tannehill. No details of the contract have been released. Schefter did say that Miami made concessions to make the deal palatable, and Tannehill was unwilling to miss more time to continue fight on offset language.

Our View: Tannehill is unlikely to be the starter in week one but we feel he’ll see the field sometime later in the year. He’s got plenty of experience in OC Mike Sherman’s offense because Sherman was his head coach in college at Texas A&M. Tannehill is athletic, has a strong arm, and some in the scouting community felt he had the best pocket presence of anyone in the 2012 NFL Draft. He’s behind David Garrard and Matt Moore on the depth chart as he gets to camp.

Seahawks | HC won’t speak about Marshawn Lynch situation

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Saturday, July 28, that he cannot really talk about the situation with RB Marshawn Lynch at this time. Lynch was arrested last month, and he might face disciplinary action from the league.

Our View: We’ll have to wait for the legal process to be exhausted before we see any decision from the league about potential discipline for Lynch. That could be stretched out past the season, so the chance of Lynch getting suspended this year may be small.

Seahawks | Antonio Bryant nursing hamstring injury

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said Saturday, July 28, that WR Antonio Bryant (hamstring) enters training camp with a bit of a hamstring issue.

Our View: Not surprising news here. Bryant was out of football last year and it will take some time for him to get back into football shape. This injury doesn’t help his chances of winning a roster spot.

Patriots | Dont’a Hightower looking to earn respect

New England Patriots LB Dont’a Hightower is looking to immediately earn the respect of his veteran teammates. ‘All those guys in front of me that have played here and had so much success, right now I’m just trying to do what I can so I can learn from these guys,’ Hightower said. ‘And get as much respect from them as I can.’

Our View: Hightower should be able to earn that respect quickly. He spends a lot of time studying film and is a student of the game. Hightower lives and breathes football, and his off field work shows up during gametime.
