Re: Orakpo signs
My guess is about 33 million.

Re: Orakpo signs
Curious as to where you got this number? Just random guess based on gut feel?
Samsonite! I was way off! $33 million for the 13th pick in the draft would have been an incredible job by the agent. That's more like top 10 money.

Re: Orakpo signs
Anyone know what #13 got last year, that's always a good starting off point.

I'm pleased with that contract. He's a rich young man but we didn't give him more than market value, and we got our guy in the fold. Moving on.

Re: Orakpo signs
I'm sort of surprised this was even an issue that might have worried people? This wasn't going to be a drawn out process.

Re: Orakpo signs
My concern was that with other higher picks' deals taking so long, that this was going to delay a signing. I'm glad this is over and done with and that the team can now focus solely on training camp.

Thus begins the rule of Edgar Allen Orakpo.

Re: Orakpo signs
Yeah I think there was some genuine reason to be a little concerned. The top picks have been coming in slowly. I really didn't expect this to go more than a few days but you never know. Good to have him signed and delivered.
