no hurry…raiders need reece to sign tender, and get branch to sign long term deal instead of franchise tag….I mean under new cba how much cap space does it take to sign guys from the last pick of the 3rd rd on down……exactly…no biggie

I can understand maybe the Saints not being in too much of a hurry, but what is the Rams excuse? When you’ve been that bad for that long, and are starting yet another rebuild with yet another new head coach, don’t you want to get those rooks into camp and start the process of getting better?

Not being under contract does not keep draft picks from participating in OTAs, just training camp….

pfft, that’s nothing. In my Madden franchise, everybody’s signed 5 minutes after the draft.

Just another domino in the trending ascension of My Precioussss Tissue Paper Tigers … Leigh Steinberg in particular must be eating his heart out @ the prospect of no more pyrrhic brinksmanship rookie holdout scenarios vs Mike Brown?

There is no hurry- not quite June. Big Reg is taking his time.

Cowboys won’t sign them until June 1st, when Terrence Newman’s contract is taken off the cap.

Oh well, what do I care, they’re in my division. BTW, props to Seattle’s front office for having everyone under contract by the time of the first rookie camp. I hope that happens every year.

Don’t give these kids their money too soon. Not enough rigor in their regime while they are finishing classes and OTAs. Teams might be losing a few players to misconduct.

And Rams will trade back with themselves for an extra 2017 3rd rounder.
