Unbelievable action today on both rookie signings and free agent signings. After months of sitting and twiddling our thumbs there's actual news to talk about. I want to briefly cover the 1st round picks and their deals as well as the 2nd round picks and then guess when the others will sign.
The two rounds are practically mirror images--the first round has as many draft picks unsigned as the second round has signed.
So far the highest pick to sign is the 8th overall pick, Rolando McClain who signed a 5 year deal worth $40 million ($23 million guaranteed). That makes 8 first rounders who have signed (with several very close to the edge). The highest second round pick to sign is Roger Saffold (33rd overall) who for 4 years, $6.3 million with $3.9 million guaranteed. Round 2 has had much better success thus far with 27 out of 32 picks signed.
Most of this information is available through twitter (Adam Schefter is being is usual workhorse self), but Mac'sFootballBlog has a nice list of who's been signed and who hasn't. Go visit his site and drive up his traffic--it's worth it as he's got some other great stuff there.
Round 1 (16 of 32 signed)
1. St. Louis Rams - Sam Bradford, QB, Oklahoma
Update: 6 years, $78 million with $50 million guaranteed. Total deal could reach $86 million. Must play 35% of rookie offensive snaps or 45% in any other one year
Update: The two sides were up 'til 4am talking. Tonight or tomorrow he'll be signed.
2. Detroit Lions - Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska
No word from Suh's camp about signing
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Gerald McCoy, DT, Oklahoma
McCoy has stated that he's wanting to wait to see what Bradford gets before signing (I expect that's what's going on with Suh as well)
4. Washington Redskins - Trent Williams, OT, Oklahoma
Update: 6 years, $60 million max. $36.5 million guaranteed
5. Kansas City Chiefs - Eric Berry, S, Tennessee
Update: 6 years, $60 million. $34 million guaranteed
6. Seattle Seahawks - Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State
No word on Okung--I don't know how the deal with Pitts affects him (It shouldn't but you never know).
7. Cleveland Browns - Joe Haden, CB, Florida
No word on a deal here.
8. Oakland Raiders - Rolando McClain, LB, Alabama - Signed (5-years, $40M; $23M guaranteed)
9. Buffalo Bills - C.J. Spiller, RB, Clemson
No word here though speculation is that he'll hold out.
10. Jacksonville Jaguars - Tyson Alualu, DT, Cal
Jaguars were expected to make him an offer today. No word on if they did or how it was received by him.
11. San Francisco 49ers- Anthony Davis, OT, Rutgers
Update: 5 years, $26.5 million. $15.95 guaranteed
12. San Diego Chargers - Ryan Mathews, RB, Fresno State
No news here. I guess the Chargers are planning on financing Mathews by skimping on their veterans.
13. Philadelphia Eagles - Brandon Graham, DE, Michigan - Signed (5-years, financial terms undisclosed)
14. Seattle Seahawks - Earl Thomas, S, Texas
No word here either. The Seahawks are being close-lipped or tight-fisted.
15. New York Giants - Jason Pierre-Paul, DE, South Florida
No word.
16. Tennessee Titans - Derrick Morgan, DE, Georgia Tech
No word.
17. San Francisco 49ers - Mike Iupati, G/T, Idaho
Update: 5 years, $18.5 million max, $10.8 million guaranteed
18. Pittsburgh Steelers - Maurkice Pouncey, C/G, Florida
Update: 5 year deal. Financial terms not available yet.
19. Atlanta Falcons - Sean Weatherspoon, LB, Missouri - Signed (5-years, $17.54M max; $10.4M guaranteed)
20. Houston Texans - Kareem Jackson, CB, Alabama
Update: 5 years, $13.1 million, $10.5 million guaranteed.
21. Cincinnati Bengals - Jermaine Gresham, TE, Oklahoma
No word.
22. Denver Broncos - Demaryius Thomas, WR, Georgia Tech
23. Green Bay Packers - Bryan Bulaga, OT, Iowa
Update: 5 years, $14.75 million max, $8.75 guaranteed
24. Dallas Cowboys - Dez Bryant, WR, Oklahoma State - Signed (5-years, $11.8M; $8.375M guaranteed)
I must confess to being shocked that he was the first one to sign. I had him pegged as a hold out.
25. Denver Broncos - Tim Tebow, QB, Florida - Agreed to Terms (5-years, $11.25M/$33M max; $8.7M guaranteed)
26. Arizona Cardinals - Dan Williams, NT, Tennessee
Cardinals really need to get this done. Their defense is decimated, but I think their owners have shown great apathy this off season
27. New England Patriots - Devin McCourty, CB, Rutgers - Signed (5-years, $10M/$13.2 max; $7.825M guaranteed)
28. Miami Dolphins - Jared Odrick, DE, Penn State - Signed (5-years, $13.07M max; $7.133M guaranteed)
29. New York Jets - Kyle Wilson, CB, Boise State
I wonder if talks with Revis are slowing this one down.
30. Detroit Lions - Jahvid Best, RB, Cal
31. Indianapolis Colts - Jerry Hughes, DE, TCU
32. New Orleans Saints - Patrick Robinson, CB, Florida State - Agreed to Terms (5-years, financial terms undisclosed)
Round 2 (27 of 32 signed)
33. St. Louis Rams - Rodger Saffold, OT, Indiana - Signed (4-years, $6.3M; ~$3.9M guaranteed)
34. Minnesota Vikings - Chris Cook, CB/S, Virginia - Signed (4-years, $5.37M; $3.3M guaranteed)
35. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Brian Price, DT, UCLA - Signed (4-years, $5.32M; $3.55M guaranteed)

37. Philadelphia Eagles - Nate Allen, S, South Florida - Signed (4-years, $5.033M; $3.109M guaranteed)
38. Cleveland Browns - T.J. Ward, S, Oregon - Signed (4-years, $4.938M; $3.03M guaranteed)
39. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Arrelious Benn, WR, Illinois - Signed (4-years, $4.84M; $2.85M guaranteed)
40. Miami Dolphins - Koa Misi, LB, Utah - Agreed to Terms (4-years, financial terms undisclosed)
I sure wish we could've grabbed him
41. Buffalo Bills - Torell Troup, DT, Central Florida - Signed (4-years, $4.483M; $2.618M guaranteed)
42. New England Patriots - Rob Gronkowski, TE, Arizona - Signed (4-years, $4.44M; $2.59M guaranteed)
43. Baltimore Ravens - Sergio Kindle, LB, Texas
44. Oakland Raiders - Lamarr Houston, DT, Texas - Signed (4-years, $4.33M; $2.505M guaranteed)
45. Denver Broncos - Zane Beadles, OL, Utah - Signed (4-years, $4.171M; $2.381M guaranteed)
46. New York Giants - Linval Joseph, DT, East Carolina
47. Arizona Cardinals - Daryl Washington, LB, TCU
48. Carolina Panthers - Jimmy Clausen, QB, Notre Dame - Signed (4-years, $4.003M/$6.253M max.; $2.213M guaranteed)
49. San Francisco 49ers - Taylor Mays, S, USCWhat's the hold up here?
I know he wants to play--he's been at the facility every day since the OTAs were done.
50. Kansas City Chiefs - Javier Arenas, CB, Alabama - Signed (4-years, $3.798M; $1.933M guaranteed)
51. Minnesota Vikings - Toby Gerhart, RB, Stanford
52. Pittsburgh Steelers - Jason Worilds, LB, Virginia Tech - Signed (4-years, financial terms undisclosed)
53. New England Patriots - Jermaine Cunningham, DL, Florida - Signed (4-years, $3.635M; $1.845M guaranteed)
54. Cincinnati Bengals - Carlos Dunlap, DE, Florida - Signed (4-years, $3.569M; $1.779M guaranteed)
55. Dallas Cowboys - Sean Lee, LB, Penn State - Signed (4-years, $3.5M; $1.71M guaranteed)
56. Green Bay Packers - Mike Neal, DL, Purdue - Signed (4-years, $3.441M; $1.651M guaranteed)
57. Baltimore Ravens - Terrence Cody, NT, Alabama - Signed (4-years, $3.384M; $1.594M guaranteed)
Dude showed up out of shape to camp and failed his conditioning test. This after really being impressive between the combine and the draft. Sad.
58. Houston Texans - Ben Tate, RB, Auburn - Agreed to Terms (4-years, financial terms undisclosed)
59. Cleveland Browns - Montario Hardesty, RB, Tennessee - Signed (4-years, $3.372M; $1.567M guaranteed)

The Seahawks are being close-lipped or tight-fisted
Fixed.
As for Suh, I was hearing on Detroit Sports Radio that the two sides are not close to agreement, but I’m with Smileyman on this one. His deal will likely come after Bradford’s.
I will gladly eat crow if Brandon Jones does well for the 49ers in 2010.

I think Alex has always lead by example
Just his play needs to get up there with his work ethic. This is your year Alex. LETS GO NINERS!!!!!
IM so excited about this year CANT WAIT
Alex has never been a leader
but his work ethic is fantastic. He showed his gentleman qualities during the compitition last year with Shaun Hill. What I want to see from him is desperation, fight, intensity, I want to see him screaming at people if things start to fall apart. Not because I believe the screaming will fix things, because if I see that kind of emotion then I know he want’s it bad. If we don’t get that Alex we probably won’t get as far as we want to.
he leads by example
but he’s not necessarily a leader of men. I think that comes with knowing you know everything and knowing you have the respect of your teammates, which comes with preparing and performing. Some guys are born leaders, some have to grow into it. I doubt he gives lengthy motivational speeches, but I bet he can get people to listen to him and do what he says in 2010.
"I will speak at times, when it's necessary, but I don't believe in talking just because you can." - P-52
Let's talk on Twitter
I think he will grow into it it this year
One thing that he needs to do is take over the leadership. I think with Alex, instead of handing it to him, the coaches should make him force his will. I wouldn’t say that for everybody, but I think if Alex just decides he’s the unquestioned leader of this team, he will be great. I think the coaches are holding it out there for him too.
Leadership: various styles, types, methods, and etc.
Bobby Lane: rant, scream, defy, belittle, cuss, demand, hate, terrorize etc.
Joe Montana: support, defend, help, encourage, etc.
They both worked very well, but which would you rather have?
Alex already shows us
his supportive side. What I am saying is he should force his will in the game. He should impose his will on the opposition and that means he is going to need some passion to come out at certain times during the season. In no way is his personality goin to change into a raving ranting rabid lunitic. Nor should it.
I dont think he needs to be the so called LEADER
He just needs to show that he can. By doing that it gives his teammates confidence in him.
If anything P-Willis should be the leader of this team yeah he’s still young but he is the face of this Franchise. If Willis can become a leader like Ray Lewis or how Sing was Id be really happy if he can become that MAN
It wouldn't hurt to have the Quarterback
be the leader of the team. Especially when the game is important and you put the game in his hands to win or lose. To get to the playoffs we may not need that, but to win the Super Bowl it sure would help.
The reports from OTAs were that Alex WAS showing genuine leadership...
He’s taken over in the huddle like the QB should, giving instructions and orders to everybody else, above and beyond just calling the play. The analysis I read of this attributed it to the fact that he now is in control of the offense, having the experience from last year to build on, which he has NEVER been in the past. This is Alex’s breakout season, and I’m not talking about his reaction to a chocolate bar…
After all was said and done, a lot more got said than done.
You need both
Anyone who has played football knows that Offensive and Defensive players operate in their own world. It’s almost like having two different teams on the same team. You need to have a true leader for both sides of the ball, as opposed to one leader of the team. This team has that from all sides of the ball. Leadership isn’t the issue on this team imo, translating good, smart football onto the playing field is what will have to improve.
I think you'll see that this year.
Not on the sidelines berating guys for mistakes but you’ll see that intensity on the field.
Gimme 1 round!

P. Marathe FTW
Signed all remaining 4 picks in several hours.
They probably had the deals worked out beforehand (probably before the state of the franchise thing) and they were just waiting for the guys to arrive to training camp and sign officially.
What we've got here is a failure to communicate.

Exactly....
Front office did the right thing in that situation. 49ers don’t have a bad rep for signing their picks.
Good god
I’d heard they hadn’t even really been discussing numbers till they signed Davis. Iupati must have just seen everybody else sign, got a good number in front of his agent and put pad to paper. I think the Niners knew he would sign easy when everybody else signed.
Gimme 1 round!

Details had clearly been worked out, they were just signing them as they reported.

They were just waiting until today to get everyone signed.

Well he's making more this year than Josh Freeman did last
and Freeman got the QB premium for the spot. Hard to pass that up
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
He's getting more than Freeman?

I saw the deal and thought he was
but going and looking at it Freeman’s making $26 million over 5 years with $10.2 million guaranteed. Iupati is $18.5 million over 5 with $10.5 million guaranteed. so Iupati is making more guaranteed money but not more over the length of the contract.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Tebow has a similarly structured deal. Less guaranteed with much more money over the length of the contract.
Tebow's upper limit pay is huge
He’ll never get that of course but he had to stroke that enormous ego somehow. 25th pick with a 33 million. Ridiculous. Prima Donna.
Gimme 1 round!
by ItBurnzWhenIP on Jul 30, 2010 4:59 PM PDT up reply actions
Enormous ego?
Because of the contract? When the kid has shown up early and worked hard every day since he was drafted?
It’s not his fault McDaniels and co are idiots and willing to pay him that much money.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Eh, he "held out"
for a bit.
Although McDaniels is still a fool for drafting him in the first place.

How did he hold out?
He didn’t miss any camp. All he missed were two days of workout sessions
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
That's good then
I’m sure Iupati is going to earn that contract.
To tell you the truth, I wouldn’t have cared if they gave him $20 mil with 11 or 12 guaranteed.

Updated post
The 49ers have sent out press releases so I created a new thread.
http://www.ninersnation.com/2010/7/30/1596759/49ers-sign-anthony-davis-taylor
I like the term
Haynesworthy. Use it. To describe something that only a truly lazy and/or selfish person would do…for instance.
“Hey look at those 5 guys standing around watching that one guy dig a hole! Now that’s Haynesworthy!”
enjoy
"I will speak at times, when it's necessary, but I don't believe in talking just because you can." - P-52

or maybe I should have said
look at that one guy standing around watching those 79 guys practice…
"I will speak at times, when it's necessary, but I don't believe in talking just because you can." - P-52
Let's talk on Twitter
yeah
so much for the rumors that Haynesworth was getting into the best shape of his life so he wouldn’t have to play NT in a 3/4.
Now he won’t have to play NT in a 3/4 but it’ll be because he’s on the PUP list.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
If you read Yahoo Shanahan designed the test so Haynesworth could never pass it. Christ, two 300 yard shuttles with 25 yard intervals in 70 seconds with only a three minute break in between.
LOL
That’s awesome. A 300 yard flat out sprint would take a man his size about 50-60 seconds to complete.
Gimme 1 round!
by ItBurnzWhenIP on Jul 30, 2010 5:01 PM PDT up reply actions
Apparently the first day he actually made the first 300 in time
but then was so winded he took a piss break and was gone for 10 minutes. When he came back they started the test over from the beginning.
The second day he did it he ran 71 seconds on the first leg. He’s a big athletic dude but at over 300 lbs running that two of those drills in 5 minutes is a hell of an accomplishment.
Gimme 1 round!

Ouch
Yeah that’d be very tough for any big man to do.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
I love Warren Sapp on NFLTA
“A body in motion tends to stay in motion, a body at rest tends to stay at rest.”
He made the point that this is less about conditioning (Haynesworth actually looks pretty good from the clips they showed) but about Shanahan making a point. He also wondered if Trent Williams had to do the same conditioning test.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
I'm sure RJF could pass it.

Word in Seattle
Okung and Thomas are waiting for Seattle to provide new homes for their parents rent free, maybe even some new furniture and truck to get to practice.
ooook
Are any other picks getting this type of treatment?

Not NINER related...
What happened to the San Jose arena football team? I just found out today they didn’t come back this season. I thought they were doing well?
The AFL that played this year
is not the AFL of yore. Completely different structure and mostly different teams.
Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority
Yeah I ended up reading that
I recognize most teams though. I also read that San Jose will be back next season.
