The No. 3 overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft has signed his contract.

Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reports that the Buffalo Bills signed defensive tackle Marcell Dareus to a fully guaranteed four-year, $20.4 million contract.

With a guaranteed $20 million-plus, Dareus probably won’t have to mow lawns anymore.

Most of the Top 10 picks in this year’s draft have now signed, and the ones who haven’t are expected to sign soon. The new Collective Bargaining Agreement may have just about eliminated issues with rookies missing training camp.
