The first-round teams are signing with a flurry, with the opening of training camps, we hope, just around the corner.
Two of the last big-name players to put the pen on paper include Washington’s No. 2 overall pick, Chase Young, and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, No. 17 overall pick. both have immediate impacts in the NFC East.
Also signing in recent days: Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs (No. 13 overall) and Denver Broncos wide receiver Jerry Jeudy (No. 15 overall). It is also projected as immediate rookie contributors to their respective teams.
However, a number of first-round picks remain unsigned as the rookies begin reporting for COVID-19 testing before the expected start of the camps next week.
Why? Well in some cases it could just be a timing issue – no major heist is expected for most first round players. Newbie salaries are divided, so the reserves of yesteryear no longer exist today.
However, some of the highest unsigned teams (including some quarterbacks) could be slow signings as the league and players union come up with financial details for the 2020 season, which could possibly have an effect on signing. of bond payments.
Here are the unsigned first-round picks, starting Thursday:
The team’s website reported that there has been no known “hiccup” with the negotiations, but getting Burrow on time is crucial for him to take over Jump Street’s initial work.
Thomas will reportedly not report to camp until their deal is complete, and he is considered a crucial element in helping the Giants’ offensive take a step forward.
How the Chargers will replace Philip Rivers is clearly an important story for training camp, and veteran Tyrod Taylor may have an early advantage over Herbert for now.
Arnette has already moved to Las Vegas and is expected to fight a large number of vets and newbies for the initial job in front of Trayvon Mullen.
It is expected to help shore up a career defense mid-pack. Both he and Herbert could sign soon.
OL coach Dan Roushar said on the team’s official website that Ruiz has impressed the team with his retirement at Zoom meetings in the off-season. Ruiz could start immediately.
General manager John Schneider said this offseason that KJ Wright is recovering from shoulder surgery, so getting Brooks on time could be a little heavier.
He is expected to compete for the initial right tackle job, battling veteran Dennis Kelly.
The Vikings have signed their first-round first player, LSU WR Justin Jefferson, so Gladney’s deal feels imminent, even with a few other first-round players just ahead of him unsigned.
