FOX Sports columnist John Czarnecki is reporting that “the word on the street” is that Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long doesn’t want to play for the Miami Dolphins.
The word on the street is that Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long doesn’t want to play for the Dolphins, who continue to negotiate with him as the first overall draft choice. There’s a special honor in being the first pick so Long’s agents continue to talk.
Of course, there is a deadline to these contract talks and then the Dolphins will move onto the next person on their board. Apparently, it isn’t Virginia’s Chris Long.
The Czar’s information has always been a little hit and miss (biased too in my opinion), so take this rumor with a grain of salt. But if there’s any truth to it, Jake Long needs to buck up and go where he’s drafted. Please, no more John Elway and Eli Manning I-want-to-go-here-drafts.
