Dolphins running back weighs his options
They say patience is a virtue, but it isn't often seen in the cash-crazy NFL these days. Ronnie Brown is a different story all together though. He hasn't signed a $3.7 million tender yet because he's holding out for a multi-year contract and it doesn't look like he's going to waver on this. Problem is, it seems unlikely that the Dolphins are going to budge either, especially for a running back who has had problems staying healthy.
What's Ronnie Brown worth these days anyway?
He definitely has flashes of top-notch talent, when he's feeling well enough to drop the shoulder on opposing linebackers and put it in another gear to race by DBs. Last year he only played in nine games and still managed to roll out 648 yards and eight touchdowns, so there's no question he can play. But, he is 28 years old, approaching that dreaded 30.
"I can't worry about it too much. I can't sign myself," he told reporters. "If I start to worry about it, is it going to change it? If I start to talk about it, is it going to change it? Is [my contract situation] going to become a positive or a negative?"
Oddsmakers have the Dolphins set at +2500 to win the 2011 Super Bowl.
