Packers Draft Pick Signings: Five Packers Picks Have Signed Contracts

Over the past few days, the Green Bay Packers have been making some headway on signing their 2014 draft picks. Five of the players have put their signature on their first NFL contracts, and all five of these players are those who were drafted on day three of the 2014 NFL Draft last Saturday.

Here are the names of the players who have signed their initial four-year deals, along with the day when the signings were posted to the NFL's transaction wire:

Wednesday, May 14th

WR Jeff Janis (7.236)

Thursday, May 15th

C Corey Linsley (5.161)
WR Jared Abbrederis (5.176)

Friday, May 16th

OLB Carl Bradford (4.121)
DB Demitri Goodson (6.197)

As you can see, the four players drafted on days one and two have not yet signed their deals, but are participating in the Packers' rookie camp (and the rest of the offseason program, if necessary) on an injury agreement which protects them should they suffer a serious injury during these practices. The unsigned players of course are:

S Ha Ha Clinton-Dix (1.21)
WR Davante Adams (2.53)
DT Khyri Thornton (3.85)
TE Richard Rodgers (3.98)

Look for those players to sign their deals in the coming days, as the current Collective Bargaining Agreement limits the portions of entry contracts that rookies and their agents can negotiate.
