Davie, Fla.
The offensive lineman from Ole Miss signed a $12.45 million, four-year contract before joining the Dolphins’ rookie minicamp that began Friday.
Touted at one time as a potential No. 1 overall choice, Tunsil was taken 13th last week after a video was posted on his Twitter account shortly before the NFL draft showing him smoking from a gas mask connected to a bong.
Another post on his Instagram showed an alleged text exchange with an Ole Miss football staff member that included Tunsil’s request for money. The school is investigating.
Tunsil said his social media accounts were hacked, likely costing him millions of dollars.
His deal is comparable to the $11.4 million, four-year contract signed by last year’s 13th draft pick, Saints offensive lineman Andrus Peat. Last year’s No. 1 pick, Jameis Winston, signed a $25.35 million, four-year deal with the Buccaneers.

Quebec City
Mayor Regis Labeaume said Friday that the city had little chance of winning and questioned whether it was worth investing a considerable sum of money in a bid if it is unlikely to be successful.
Labeaume was worried that measures Quebec City may take to stage alpine skiing may not be judged fairly. Plans to bid for the 2022 Winter Games were rejected because the region lacks a mountain tall enough to hold the longer alpine events, such as the men’s downhill.
