The Sulak reference was meant more tongue in cheek. Congrats to Brown and good luck making the roster. I agree that Houston will be in camp from day one and hope that McClain will only miss the first couple days as well. But who knows, the NFL has some labor issues that could create some tense contract talks for all the first round picks this year. Right you are Fitch!

It would create a whole mess as evident by the way Crabtree went about his holdout last year. Hopefully the NFL will take a page out of the NBA book and will create standard rookie deals based on draft position. Prove you're worth the cash and then the real money will come after the short (2-3 year) rookie deal has expired. Gene,

This is just how these things usually play out, just politics of the business. If the opposite was true and there was no chance McClain will miss any days then he'd already be under contract...right? But he's not becasue why? I guess you'll have to read the rest of the piece to understand the concept. Easy now…it’s not like I said dude was going to skip camp all together.
