How so? You make it sound like this should have been done earlier. But excluding Mario Williams who signed in April of the year he was drafted, no Top Five pick from the last three years signed a deal before July 26th.
Maybe people were getting impatient because Jake Long, Matt Ryan, and Darren McFadden have all signed, I dunno. But going by past precedent, Long's actually a bit early in terms of being a top five pick agreeing to terms on a deal.
I'm anxious to see how he looks in camp.
