Draft Pick signings?

Anthony Spencer signed for $6mm in guarantees last year, so Brown will sign for somewhere in the range of $6.2mm and $6.3mm, representing around a 3-4% increase.

We'll see how close I get.

Seems I got pretty close. McClain sez:

Brown, the first-round pick who is ticketed to start at left tackle, signed a $9.1 million contract that could pay him as much as $11.5 million if he reaches his incentives. It includes $6.2 million in guaranteed money.

Someone else told me I was $1000 or so off on Molden, but I haven't confirmed it yet.
