So could the team with the second pick start negotiations now with their pick?
I don’t know. I would think that they could start getting serious with a few candidates but until the announcement is made on Saturday the Dolphins don’t have Long drafted. His agent could throw a wrench into the works at the last second which means Fatso then moves on to Plan B.
The second guy drafted doesn’t get more money than the #1 though.
Yes and no. They can talk to anyone, but they can't sign anyone.
