The Denver Broncos on Wednesday signed cornerback Perrish Cox, whom they selected in the fifth round (137th overall) of the 2010 NFL Draft from Oklahoma State University. As per club policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Cox (6-foot-0, 195 pounds) was a finalist for the Thorpe Award (nation's best defensive back) and earned first-team All-Big 12 Conference honors as a senior in 2009 after leading the country in pass breakups (19) and posting a career-high four interceptions for the Cowboys.
He also garnered All-America recognition for his ability on special teams, where he scored six return touchdowns (4 kickoff, 2 punt) during his collegiate career and finished with the third-most kickoff return yards (2,804) in FBS history.
An all-state selection at University High School in Waco, Texas, Cox was born on Jan. 10, 1987.

If memory serves me right
We didnt start signing any picks until the week before training camp. Im hoping that these early signings of late round picks will also lead to early signings of early round picks, or at least, earlier than last year lol. If TT and baybay have any chance of being succesful in their rookie year, they’ll need all of training camp, as they both need to continue to get better and get ready for the pro game, IMO
May have been partly due to the new regime figuring out structures they were comfortable with
Granted, Xanders was technically a hold over but one might assume he needed to spend a little time adjusting FO contract philosophies to his liking.
I like Josh. But I need Ws.

I hope McDX has learned their lession of missing momentum like they did last year with Moreno and Ayers holding out.
I would hope to get them all signed before TC starts if thats even possible. It would just make things run a little smoother going in.
that was a delay that started elsewhere
Crabtree’s holdout made slotting our picks difficult, as well as that of other players in that section of the draft. It had nothing to do with us, it’s just that agreeing to salary numbers with the agents was nearly impossible because they were waiting to see what Crabtree received.

is it usually only the top 10 picks that make these type of hold outs and therefore effect the top 18 picks?
if so then having our 1st rounders in the twenties this shouldnt effect us too much.
there's an old post of mine on this somewhere in the archives
It’s difficult to ask them to agree to millions less than they’d be entitled to. I believe I referred to it as a logjam. The main point is that the respective agents, players and teams want to go ahead and sign but the logjam makes it impossible to arrive at a reasonable number. It wasn’t an unwillingness to negotiate nor an insistence on an unreasonable salary. Everyone, except Crabtree and Smith (I think), was merely following the same procedure that is used to calculate a salary.

The chances of TT holding out
are probably lower than him starting opening day at TE

Hold outs arent just a choice of a player
sometimes teams are cheap with players, and a late 1st rd QB selection could be a tough contract to get. I bet Tebow doesnt want a hold out, but its not entirely his choice. It could even be his agent because if he gets Tebow a bad contract, that could kill his career, even if Tebow was willing to take less to avoid a holdout
In that case, one guy works for the other guy, and
I think if Tebow wants to play and the AGENT wants to hold out, TT should find a new agent. Is that possible, or is there a contract between player and agent that prohibits that?

Looks like they are working backwards in draft order.
With starting this early, I’d be satisfied with just getting them all in by TC.
Yes, that's how it's done
Some of the columns on PFW by the agent and exec. explain the process quite well. Most fans are unaware of the process.

Jack Bechta explains the process from the agent’s point of view and Andrew Brandt explains it from the GM’s point of view.

They are excellent sources.

here's a recent one everyone should read
SPLITTING HAIRS ON ROOKIE DEALS
The majority of agents and cap managers don’t like to be the first ones into the pool, because they take the risk of over- or undershooting the market. The first deals done will create a floor, average and/or ceiling for the rest. Thus, everybody is watching. If the agent agrees to a subpar deal, the agent community will let everybody know it. If the cap manager overpays, he will put pressure on the rest of the teams to do so, and he will be whispered about in front offices as the guy who screwed the other 31 teams.
The pace of the signings is dependent of other signings, since there’s a disincentive for being first. The one game theory example of this dynamic is penguins bunching up at the water’s edge in anticipation of diving in. No penguin wants to be the first because because a killer whale is often waiting for a snack. Once one dives in (he’s often pushed), the others soon follow.
The consensus is that the salary cap this year was increased at a rate of 4% over last year’s rookie pool (the finite amount of money allocated to each team dedicated to rookie contracts only). Therefore, every agent is trying to get his client a similar increase over last year’s deals. The increase from year to year is not uniform for each round, however. First round salaries will easily exceed 4%, while the latter rounds could be as low as 2.5%.
Here is the funny part. Experienced agents, myself included, and well-educated cap mangers are haggling over a few hundred dollars for draft picks in the 4th round and lower. No kidding! For example, if a 5th round slot had a signing bonus of $200,000 in 2009, the agent might believe it should be increased by 3.25% to $206,500 for 2010. Meanwhile, the cap manager believes the bonus should only increase by 3% to $206,000. The difference is a whopping $500. Even if the agent and cap manager agree on all the other contract components, such as term, injury splits, credit season language, escalators tied to the number of off-season completed workouts and play time, etc., the deal could still take months to get done. So, believe it or not, $50 to $500 dollars can hold up a late-round contract for weeks. The factor that finally gets the deal done is usually molded by the comps agreed upon in the slots located above and below where a given player was chosen.
BTW — the article linked in “haggling…” is another excellent treatment of this subject.

THANKS!
Very informative.

Thanks Colinski

So is that 3 picks signed now?
Both 7th rounders and our 5th rounder? Anybody else?
They all seem to fall (“be signed”) in reverse order of their drafting, for obvious reasons.
They skipped over Eric Olsen, C, 6th round
We got both 7-rounders signed and now Cox from 5 round. Waiting for Olsen signing now
Four 3rd round picks have signed
(75, 81, 83,and 90th), so the ball is rolling. Walton, Decker, and Olsen shouldn’t have any reason not to sign in the next few days.

Nice.
Are we going to have to begin MHR Cox rants?…. Nancy.

I think McD has already laid out a good blueprint for a Mile High Rant (trying to win a game…). The only thing he missed was a closing remark about his hatred of Hugh Jackman.
hahaha
