And we’re off. The first of the Raiders’ nine draft picks has signed on the dotted line. Fourth round tight end Foster Moreau, who the team selected at 137 overall, has signed his 4-year rookie contract. This according to Adam Caplan.
Thus we begin the countdown of picks to sign. Unlike the old days where prospects would negotiate their deals and thus often would take well into the summer and sometimes even hold out into the season.
These days the amounts are slotted, so there’s little reason for the picks not to get their deals signed in a timely fashion.
