This however might be an optimistic view from the local newspaper.

Ah, this is indeed good news.

[morphius]

Good, hopefully we can get him into camp quickly. We need the D to be a completely gel'd group before the season starts.

I knew that. :sulk:

Actually I didn't.

that's a good contract for the team...$2 mill a year? no problem and DJ will be slightly less...

[KCTitus]

I guessed Aug 1 earlier in the week...sounds like that's got a good chance of happening.

If he signed during the weekend, can he practice even though the contract wont be recieved until the NFL offices open on Monday? Never sure how that works.

I think all he has to do is sign.

I think all he has to do is sign.

I know that the NFL has to receive the contract and 'bless' it as well...see the Hakim deal.

Jammal Brown 5 years/$11 million
Thomas Davis 5 years/$10.6 million

Looks like DJ will be about 5 years/$10 million
