    Cleveland and Pittsburgh signed their first rounders, I just don't have the details of the signing though. I'm a bit curious to why it's taking so long to get others signed. I'm pretty sure it involves the possibility of an uncapped season so everyone is in the wait-and-see mode, either that or they are having problems with their demands (cough) Crabtree (cough).

    The money is well established....the fight is over the number of years....the players want 4 year deals, the teams want 6 year deals....a 6 year deal avoids restricted free agency, which is a headache for all involved now that poison pill contracts are popular....complicating matters greatly though is the looming lockout, which would change the number of years required to become unrestricted from 5 years to 6, leaving even more potential for restricted free agency....further complicating the process is the Supreme Court case that could give the NFL lifetime antitrust protection, which is the 1st step toward ending the concept of free agency and returning to the system of yesteryear(as in, you get drafted, that team has your rights until they release them, and theres nothing you can do about it, except refuse to play).....

    Michael Crabtree is being a real prick about getting a deal done. He wants to make Top 3 money.

    Updated, I still don't know the details of Robert Ayers contract. I bolded Percy Harvin because I heard a rumor that the NFL recently voided the Vikings offer for some reason. If anyone can confirm that it's false or something different, please share.

    I saw a blog post on espn.com that Jackson and Moreno are close to signing. The Crabtree drama sounds especially ugly. Will he be the last to sign? As a Seahawks fan, I hope Curry gets signed soon.

    As I had seen people speculate, once the first defensive player picked got signed, Curry signed soon after.

    Im woundering if the Lions made Curry feel he is worth more then what the Hawks think he is worth.

    Updated, and it seems that the Crabtree situation has an effect on negotiations with other picks before him. I still don't have details on the contracts of Malcom Jenkins, Robert Ayers, and Percy Marvin.
