The Facts:
As more teams at the top of the draft relent on the topic of offset language, one team may not be willing to go along with the trend. A league source tells PFT that the Dolphins are insisting on the inclusion of offset language in Tannehill’s contract.

According to PFT's Mike Florio, the team’s insistence is believed to be coming from V.P. of administration Dawn Aponte, who once worked for the league’s management council. It’s believed that teams are pushing for offset language at the specific direction of the NFL’s governing body. Florio went on to point out if that's the case, it’s not working. The Panthers already have given LB Luke Kuechly a fully-guaranteed four-year deal with no offset language at No. 9, and the Redskins and Colts have in the past two days given QBs Robert Griffin III and Andrew Luck deals with no offset language at picks No. 2 and No. 1, respectively. ... Meanwhile, the Dolphins' willingness to hold firm in this instance might have something to do with the fact Tannehill is third on the depth chart.
