Camp is about to open for all NFL teams and some are getting deals done:
The New England Patriots reached a five-year deal with first-round cornerback Devin McCourty. Devin was the 27th pick and got almost $8 million in guaranteed money.
Seattle got Golden Tate to sign. Golden was a second round choice and received $1.47 million guaranteed money.
Jimmy Clausen, who was supposed to be a lock at #10 for the Jaguars if other web site editors were drafting, was a second round choice of Carolina and received $2.5 million guaranteed money.
So we have 2 of the 32 first rounders ready for camp. I am hoping for a flurry of signings now and get the full team in pads hitting in 100 degree weather.

Hello. A little about me. I came to Jacksonville in 2005 after spending a lot of time in Erie, Pa. Erie is located almost equally from the Browns, the Bills, and the Steelers. I chose the Browns. Season tickets were impossible, regular game tickets maybe. I was raised to be a football fan by my Dad who took me to see his team, the Bills. OJ Simpson days.
When I moved to Jacksonville, I could have season tickets! I found Big Cat Country and began writing for them for I think 3 years. The site went from almost nothing to very popular and then when Alfie took over, it went through the roof. Before Alfie came, I found Black and Teal laying by the roadside abandoned. I took it over on January 16, 2010 and wrote every day and every night. I recruited Zoltan to help. Then the Hof came and I handed it to him. He did great and he found Mr. Sims who he gave it to.
So welcome to the site. Here is what I have learned in my 6 years of Jaguar blogging, sometimes I'm right! Not a lot of the time, but sometimes, just like you. We are not insiders here, nor are we journalists. We are just fans, just like you. Welcome.
