The 43-year old former NFL linebacker Junior Seau’s suicide at his oceanfront home on May 2 resonated across the age groups, with more than half of each saying that particular event pushed them to ponder their future in the sport or the difficulties of adjusting to a new daily life after leaving the league.

With the changes in the CBA, rookie signings aren’t nearly what they used to be.

That said, guys are still signing, and it’s June, so we report it.

Per his agent Mike McCartney’s twitter account, Bengals third-round pick Mohamed Sanu has signed his contract. Per the slotted system that makes this so easy, Sanu will get a maximum signing bonus of $563,252 on a four-year deal.

The Rutgers product has a chance to make an early impact for the Bengals, although at the moment he’s behind Armon Binns and Brandon Tate for the starting job opposite A.J. Green, according to offensive coordinator Jay Gruden.
