The Dolphins had money to spend on linebackers, but not for the guy they spent the first pick in the 2008 Draft on.
Now, Jake Long has a new home, as Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports Long has agreed to a contract with the Rams.
While that might now start a chain reaction of line moves, it gives Sam Bradford the kind of protection he’s lacked.
If Long holds up physically, it’s potentially a good move for the Rams, though the Dolphins were apparently concerned about that being the case. That clears the way for the Dolphins to move Jonathan Martin to left tackle after a year on the right.
