Sounds like both sides are eager to work something out quickly per today's WT article:
"Obviously, we're kind of jumping in here at the 11th hour," Mato said. "However, I believe only two first-round picks have signed to this point [Houston's Jason Babin and New England's Vince Wilfork], and the Redskins seem very eager to get the ball rolling and get something done. We're going to do what we can to get something done in the next few days."
Top draft picks often wait to see what kind of contracts fellow first-rounders get before signing themselves, but Mato said there's nothing stopping him from completing a deal with the Redskins right now.
"I'm not afraid to pull the trigger if I feel it's the right deal," he said. "I never look at what other players sign for as a tool to help me negotiate my client's contract."
