With the first day of camp down, and our #1 draft pick not on the field. Lets hope we can get Orakpo on the field ASAP

Sounds like the deal was close to getting done last tonight.

I hope both sides can get this contract worked out in the next day or two, and get this kid on the field.

This is valuable time he will be missing if this drags out for to long. Especially with the thought of Orakpo changing positions and making the transition to LB.

Thoughts.

He also said he thought the team was "real close" to signing first-round draft pick Brian Orakpo on Wednesday night, but the deal did not get done, and he expressed an urgency to get the defensive end/linebacker into camp soon.
