John Clayton of ESPN.com reports that the Miami Dolphins have agreed to terms with quarterback John Beck, the team's second-round pick in the 2007 draft.Clayton reports that Beck signed "a three-year deal and an option." We're not sure what that means, frankly. It sounds like there's a provision that allows the Fins to pay Beck some additional money in exchange for picking up the fourth year of the deal. Under the CBA, the maximum duration of contracts for second-round picks is four years.
The distinction between three and four years is critical. After three years, a player is eligible for restricted free agency.
Beck is due to receive $2.25 million in guaranteed money.
