[quote=Ruhskins;571368]My concern was that with other higher picks' deals taking so long, that this was going to delay a signing. I'm glad this is over and done with and that the team can now focus solely on training camp.[/quote]

Yeah I think there was some genuine reason to be a little concerned. The top picks have been coming in slowly. I really didn't expect this to go more than a few days but you never know. Good to have him signed and delivered.

Crazy, you can watch for updates all day. Go to get ready for bed and he signs. With my luck I will be getting a beer when Cooley catches the winning pass in the Superbowl! :)

Great news

GO SKINS!

Adam Schefter via Twitter is saying 5 years, $20M, $12.1M guaranteed.

Re: Orakpo signs
 

[quote=T.O.Killa;571362]My guess is about 33 million.[/quote]

Curious as to where you got this number? Just random guess based on gut feel?

Samsonite! I was way off!

$33 million for the 13th pick in the draft would have been an incredible job by the agent. That's more like top 10 money.

That's a very reasonalbe deal if he becomes a starter, which he'd better!
Of course if he has a couple double digit sack years early in the deal, say by year 3, his agent will start talking to the danny.

Anyone know what #13 got last year, that's always a good starting off point.
