There was a time when rookie contract negotiations would stretch through the summer and into training camp. This is no longer that time.
The slotted salary system has done away with those headaches, and the Cardinals may have had their easiest time yet this year.
All of the team’s draft choices are already under contract after third-round pick Brandon Williams, fourth-rounder Evan Boehm and sixth-round choice Harlan Miller signed four-year deals on Monday. First-round choice Robert Nkemdiche and fifth-round picks Cole Toner and Marqui Christian signed on Friday.
