Dave Reardon reports that Samson Satele has agreed to a 4-year contract with the Miami Dolphins.

Rookie center Samson Satele agreed today to a 4-year contract with the Miami Dolphins providing $1,225,000 in guaranteed money, plus more than $1.6 million in base pay over the length of the contract, his agent said.

"It's the first deal completed for a second-round pick (this year)," said Leo Goeas, Satele's agent. "It's a very clean deal, very straightforward."

Satele, a Kailua and Hawaii alumnus, rose to the top of the Dolphins' depth chart at center in mini-camp. He reports to preseason camp Sunday.

"I'm so happy everything's done," Satele said. "I feel the same. Shucks, I guess if I look at my bank account I'll feel a little different."

Hehe, right on for Samson!

Stephen Tsai has more details on the deal, as well as news that receiver Royce Pollard is joining the Warriors.

Wide receiver Royce Pollard of University City High School in San Diego said he has been accepted to UH and will join the Warriors as a non-scholarship player.
Pollard, who is 6 feet 2 and 174 pounds, was 11th in receiving in the San Diego Section last year, with 36 catches for 772 yards and six touchdowns. He averaged 21.44 yards per catch.
Pollard participated in unsupervised workouts yesterday.

And finally, SportsHawaii's BigWave has posted photos he took of today's unsupervised workouts.
