The Miami Dolphins have struck a four-year, $2.64 million deal with third-round rookie offensive lineman John Jerry, according to a league source.

Jerry received a signing bonus slightly over $858,000.

The deal includes the standard base salaries of $320,000, $405,000, $490,000 and $575,000 as well as a fourth-year escalator clause that can significantly boost the maximum value of the deal.

Jerry was a standout blocker at Ole Miss and is the brother of Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Peria Jerry.

The 6-foot-5, 328-pounder starter four seasons at Ole Miss, playing offensive guard and tackle.

He was a first-team All-Southeastern Conference selection last season.
