Spiller and Okung sign on the dotted line
This year's first-round rookie class has done something that hasn't been done in ten years.
Buffalo running back C.J. Spiller and Seattle offensive tackle Russell Okung, the last two unsigned first-round picks entering today, have come to terms with their respective teams on rookie deals.
Okung, who was the sixth-overall pick, agreed to a six-year deal worth $48.5 million ($29 million guaranteed), according to ESPN's Chris Mortensen. The maximum value of the contract is $58 million.
Spiller, who was the ninth-overall pick, agreed to a five-year contract worth $25 million ($20.8 million guaranteed), according to ESPN's John Clayton. The maximum value of the contract is $37.5 million.
San Francisco's Michael Crabtree, who slipped to tenth overall in last year's draft, missed five games due to an extended holdout. It's good to see that we won't have any holdouts this year (at least when it comes to rookies).
And according to ESPN, this is the earliest that all first-round picks have signed since 2000.
