Well, that was quick. So much for the Rams being the last team in the NFL to sign any of their draft picks - the team announced yesterday they had signed all seven of their 2013 picks, all to four-year contracts. First-rounders Tavon Austin and Alec Ogletree have options for a fifth year.
Total contract amounts for each pick, from Howard Balzer at Lockerdome:
1a - Tavon Austin - $12.75 million
1b - Alec Ogletree - $7 million
3a - T.J. McDonald - $2.9 million
3b - Stedman Bailey - $2.7 million
4 - Barrett Jones - $2.6 million
5a - Brandon McGee - $2.3 million
5b - Zac Stacy - $2.3 million
The Rams obviously had some of these guys signed, or at least negotiations wrapped up, before now, and just chose to announce them all at once. That's fine, I guess, though maybe unnecessarily secretive. Congratulations to the front office for getting everyone in well ahead of time.
And, no, I most certainly do not miss the old days of rookie holdouts. Good riddance to all that.
