Title: Fins sign 2nd draft pick, hold ups on some others
Post by: MikeO on May 20, 2012, 11:05:49 am
Armando reported Miami signed DT Keeshton Randall this morning

Said Fins can't sign Kaddu until mid-June. Because Oregon runs on the "quarter system" by NFL RULE he can't take a physical till June 16th. Also there is a holdup on signing some of the 3rd round picks because of NFL Agents and slotting issues. Miami had 2 guys from Rd 3 to sign.

Maybe we need to start our typical draft signing thread.

It's good that we're signing draft picks early on.  Especially Martin.  He's the one piece that will be most vital in fixing up the right side of that line.

Seems like a lot of picks have been signed for every team.

The new rookie wage scale is making that happen

Yup, the only delays are do to slotting.  Once the guys above are signed, the guys below are pretty much locked into salaries.

Apparently they signed him without him taking a physical.  Just saw on the newswire he signed today.

Yeah Oregon is on the "quarters" system for their school.  So by NFL RULE he can't take a physical till mid-June when school is complete.
