FINS FINAGLE CFL STANDOUT

The Miami Dolphins have won the eight-team contest for the services of a little-known CFL pass-rusher, who could have a big impact at the next level. According to Adam Schefter of NFL Network, the Fins have signed defensive end Cameron Wake, formerly of the B.C. Lions. Wake had 39 sacks in two seasons with the non-Detroit Lions. He played college football at Penn State as “Derek Wake.” Once he arrived in Canada, he opted to use his middle name, Cameron. (Maybe it’s because “Derek” is Canadian slang for “douchebag.”) Undrafted after running the 40 in 4.55 seconds, Wake signed with the Giants in 20065. He was listed in the 2005 NFL Record & Fact Book as a linebacker. Wake visited eight NFL teams, and his decision came down to the Colts and the Dolphins. Per Schefter, Wake signed a four-year deal, which could be worth up to $4.9 million. He also will receive nearly $1 million in guaranteed money. For a guy who wasn’t drafted, it’s a good deal. But if he plays in the NFL like he played in Canada, it won’t be long before that contract makes him starts acting like a real Derek.
