The San Diego Chargers signed Ryan Mathews while the Buccaneers came to terms with 3rd overall pick Gerald McCoy. Given that San Diego is counting heavily on Mathews to be their top running back this year, his signing will have a major impact on the teams projected preseason standing. Currently, San Diego is a 9 to 1 Super Bowl favorite. The San Diego Chargers obtained Mathews with the 12th total pick. Mathews is projected to see more action as a rookie than last years starter Darren Sproles. After an outstanding high school career, Mathews was recruited by a number of Pac-10 and Big 12 schools. However, He decided to stay close to home and attend Fresno State. He is also a longtime fan of the San Diego Chargers and will certainly be working hard to earn his spot fulfilling his boyhood dream of playing for the Chargers. The Buccaneers came to terms with their 1st round NFL choice, Gerald McCoy. He signed a five-year, $63.42 million deal that included $35 million in guaranteed money. The Bucs took the Oklahoma defensive tackle 3rd in the NFL Draft. He is expected to play a major role in the redevelopment of Tampa's defense. Left tackle Donald Penn, a restricted free agent, also signed a deal with the Buccaneers. It was reported that Penn got a 6-year, $48 million deal, with about $20 million guaranteed. The 7th player claimed in the draft, Florida cornerback Joe Haden, came to terms with the Cleveland Browns on a reported five year-$50 million offer with $26 million guaranteed. The addition of Haden to the secondary will be an essential part of the Browns developing defense. Of the top five NFL Draft picks, only defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who was taken by Detroit with the 2nd total option, is unsigned. The Lions do expect to come to terms soon with the Nebraska celebrity. Suh is one of the most sought after defensive players in college football history. He won many awards over the course of his career in college football. However, he signed with the same sports management company and agent as Michael Crabtree, who famously held out for six weeks into
the NFL season before signing with the San Francisco 49ers. The top NFL draft option, quarterback Sam Bradford, has currently agreed on terms with the Rams. It is only a matter of time before the Rams turn the starting quarterback job over to him, and he is expected to get playing time this year and have an impact as an NFL quarterback Bradford received a six-year, $78 million dollar deal with St. Louis with $50 million guaranteed. Denver agreed on terms with Florida quarterback Tim Tebow in another quarterback signing of note. He signed a 5-year deal worth $11.25 million but it may be worth more than $30 million with incentives. Michael writes website articles discussing current trends in sports. These articles provide information for sports and betting enthusiasts alike. He provides informative articles for the NFL draft, MLB, and the NBA among other amateur and professional leagues.
