For most of us, what we earn (or in some cases we don't earn ;-) is private. Not so with professional athletes. 

The OverTheCap website has contract terms for Packers center Delby Lemieux '26  (LINK), Bucs defensive tackle Josiah Green '25 (LINK), Browns corner Tyron Herring '23 (LINK), and former Dolphins corner Isaiah Johnson '22 (LINK).

Speaking of former Dartmouth players in the pros, pass rusher Flo Orimolade '17 is nearing a return to the Calgary Stampeders after suffering an Achilles tear last September. Per 3DownNation, Flo was "full go" at practice last week and could make his return this Saturday when the Stamps play at the BC Lions.

Ohio State has "offered" an unrated safety holding a Dartmouth offer, but probably not because they think he's going to be a Big Ten standout. Or even an Ivy League standout.

Nope. They offered Jordan Darren Djila  because he's a Tennessee high school teammate and good friend of a fellow Canadian import who just happens to be the Buckeyes' top running back target. Their "chess move" is a hardly transparent ploy to improve their chances of landing tailback Gabriel Georges Tchuisseu. (LINK)

EXTRA POINT
It's the Summer Solstice, the longest day and shortest night of the year. I don't know about you, but I enjoy the push to this day, but it's always a little bittersweet finally reaching it because in the back of my mind I know it signals days starting to get shorter again.
