A link in case anyone is interested:

Signing status of 2009 NFL Draft first-round picks

You think it's because the NFL is headed into the final year of the labor agreement?

Maybe agents are trying to secure more money this year in case of a lock out after this year.

...Pure speculation on my part of course.

I mean this would be a good story for the sports media to address, but of course they are too busy not letting go of the Brett Favre's non-story

GMScud, thanks for the heads up on Zorn's comments. I agree with you, Orakpo needs to be in camp, I hope we get him signed pretty soon.

Absolutely. I think the prospect of 2010 being uncapped is playing a big role.

This may be close enough for Orakpo to get slotted, did you all know that Ben Dogra represents Orakpo and Heyward Bey.

Dogra represents:
1. Lions: QB Matthew Stafford (Tom Condon/Ben Dogra); signed April 25.

2. Rams: OT Jason Smith (Ben Dogra/Michael Lartigue); unsigned.

7. Raiders: WR Darrius Heyward-Bey (Tom Condon/Ben Dogra); signed

12. Broncos: RB Knowshon Moreno (Tom Condon/Ben Dogra); unsigned.

13. Redskins: LB Brian Orakpo (Ben Dogra/Michael Lartigue); unsigned.

14. Saints: CB Malcolm Jenkins (Ben Dogra/Tom Condon); unsigned.

15. Texans: LB Brian Cushing (Tom Condon/Ben Dogra); unsigned.

19. Eagles: WR Jeremy Maclin (Ben Dogra/Jim Steiner); unsigned.
