Alualu, Gresham, Hughes sign yesterday; three first-rounders remain unsigned
One day after the Jaguars stated (and Tyson Alualu's agent denied reports) that their first-round pick had signed on the dotted line, he, well, signed on the dotted line.
According to Aaron Wilson of National Football Post, Alualu yesterday agreed to a five-year deal worth $28 million, $17.5 million of which is guaranteed.
In addition to Alualu, two other first-rounders signed become multi-millionaires yesterday.
The Indianapolis Colts signed Jerry Hughes, the 31st-overall draft pick, to a five-year deal worth $12 million. Meanwhile the Cincinnati Bengals signed Jermaine Gresham, the 21st-overall draft pick, to a five-year contract worth $15.85 million (up to $18.5 million) with $9.6 million guaranteed, per Joe Reedy of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
With these signings, there are three first-rounders that remain unsigned, as of August 3rd: Detroit's Ndamukong Suh (second-overall pick), Seattle's Russell Okung (sixth-overall pick) and Buffalo's C.J. Spiller (ninth-overall pick).
