Rams just signed Long

The Miami Herald reports the Dolphins were offering LT Jake Long about $8 million per season before he accepted the Rams' four-year, $36 million offer.

It's unclear how many years Miami was willing to go, but it's unlikely that was the hang-up. It means Long opted to bolt the team that made him the No. 1 overall pick of the 2008 draft for roughly $1 million more per year. For his part, Long says the decision came down to the Rams' "vision and the entire organization." We're guessing the extra $1 million didn't hurt.
