Dolphins star pass rusher Cameron Wake has decided to show up to Miami's voluntary offseason workouts, foregoing a potentially lengthy contract hold out, according to the Miami Herald.
The two sides have stated their desire to work out a deal during the offseason.Wake seeks a deal that will pay him much more than the $615,000 that his current one will this season, as players of his production level are getting salaries ten times that in today's NFL.
"Cameron felt like he had to go in to speak with Joe Philbin face to face, man to man, out of respect to him as a new coach," Wake's agent said, according to the Miami Herald. "They spoke, and Cameron decided to work with his teammates during this voluntary period, while I work on the business side of things with the Dolphins."
It appeared Wake would hold out of training camp and, if necessary, the regular season, but all indications are that Wake and the Dolphins' front office are on good terms and are planning to hammer out a deal that is mutually beneficial.
Wake is one of Miami's premier players and the primary pass rushing force on the team. In three seasons in the NFL, he has accrued 28 sacks and appeared in the Pro Bowl once. The Dolphins signed him from the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League, where he won the Defensive Player of the Year award in both his seasons.
