With No. 1 overall pick Jake Long already in the fold, Miami Dolphins rookie quarterback Chad Henne has no doubts that he also will be signed in time for training camp this summer.
Speaking today during Miami's Hall of Fame tour for rookies in Canton, Ohio, the second-round pick said contract negotiations are already underway.
"I know my agent approached them probably about two or three weeks ago...to get it started," Henne said. "I'm sure they're going to get it done before training camp, because they want me in camp and I anticipate being in camp."
Henne is eager to get the deal complete because he is one of at least three rookie quarterbacks with a chance to win a starting job in his first season. Matt Ryan of the Atlanta Falcons and Joe Flacco of the Baltimore Ravens are two others.
This spring Henne is splitting reps with two other Dolphin quarterbacks in John Beck and Josh McCown, with hopes that one of the three separates himself by the start of the regular season.
"We're kind of rotating ones, twos and threes and each quarterback has the opportunity to play with each group every day, so it's good," Henne said. "They're giving me an opportunity and I have to take advantage of it."
