Steelers' 1st-round pick Terrell Edmunds remains unsigned as camp looms

JOE RUTTER | Sunday, July 22, 2018

Six weeks after predicting he would sign his rookie contract “one of these days,” Steelers first-round draft pick Terrell Edmunds remains without a deal as training camp approaches.

Edmunds is the only Steelers’ draft pick who remains unsigned and is one of seven NFL first-round picks without a contract. The Steelers report to training camp Wednesday at Saint Vincent in Latrobe.

According to the NFL’s slotting system implemented in the 2011 collective bargaining agreement, Edmunds can expect a four-year deal worth $10.78 million and a $5.9 million signing bonus based on calculations from salary-tracking web site spotrac.com.

Edmunds, a 21-year-old safety from Virginia Tech, was selected by the Steelers with the No. 28 overall pick.

Heard he wants to be paid as a safety and linebacker.

I heard he wants to change the market for safety / linebackers...

There is no reason why every rookie should not be signed within five minutes of his name being called in the draft. The entire CBA was designed to make this not an issue anymore. But still they will find something to nitpick over ...

Is it too late to place the transition tag on him?

Would he then make the average of his position group of safety/Linebacker, or the average of his position group of unsigned rookies ($0) ?

I thought he would make the average of the top 10 trans rookie linebackers.

Steelers fans overwhelmingly support rescinding the Terrell Edmunds draft pick.
