The Memphis Showboats are negotiating with Miami Dolphins quarterback Don Strock over a three-year, $1 million contract, officials with the USFL club said today.
“I think we're going to sign him,” said team owner Logan Young, whose fledgling franchise has not yet hired a coach or any players
“They said they would like to work out some kind of deal this week and I told them we'd work something up in a couple of days.”
Young was in Toronto attending a league meeting this week.
Strock, 33, is also in negotiations with the Dolphins for a one-year contract. Miami has countered with a one-year offer that includes a two-year option.
Young said he also is interested in former Vanderbilt quarterback Whit Taylor, who was the No. 2 signal-caller with the Michigan Wolverines last year.
