Jul 16, 1996: -- Brew Signs - One Left to Go --

ESPN is reporting this evening that CB Dorian Brew, the Dolphins' second overall draft pick, has signed a three year contract with the Dolphins for undisclosed terms. I have also been informed that Brew showed up for practice today at the Dolphins training camp.

This leaves Karim Abdul-Jabbar as the only Dolphins draft pick who remains unsigned.

The Dolphins are also reported to have signed a defensive tackle by the name of Demetrius Edwards and have waived Safety Walter Smith. More news will be forthcoming as I receive it.

My Comments:

The signing of Brew is good, not only in and of itself, but because it defines very clearly the kind of terms that Abdul-Jabbar can expect to receive. Since Abdul-Jabbar was drafted immediately after Brew, his contract should be nearly identical to Brew's.

Smith was a receiver when the Dolphins signed him and was moved to Safety. He really didn't have much chance.

If anyone has any information about Edwards, I'd welcome it. I presume that he's a rookie because there's no information about him on the NFL Players web site, but that's all I know.
