The Dolphins' first-round pick, Jared Odrick, was the overall 23rd pick in the 2010 draft.
With the Dolphins having injury troubles in the DE position after Phillip Merling had a season-ending injury, negotiations have finally yielded a contract.
The contract gives Odrick $7.1 million guaranteed, with a possible bonus reaching $13 million.

Odrick is one of many first round picks finally making deals as training camp approaches, the most notable being Sam Bradford, who signed with the Rams for $50 million.
