Eagles sign first round pick Danny Watkins

After missing the first five days of training camp, first round pick Danny Watkins finally signed a contract with the Eagles, agreeing to a 4 year deal worth close to 8 million dollars. The missed time by Watkins could be critical as he has to quickly learn the offense if he wants to be the starting right guard in Week One. Given his limited playing experience, asking him to be a starter in the NFL right away might have been a stretch even with a full offseason.

The Eagles have now agreed to terms with all of their first round picks. Here is a complete list of Eagles draft picks and their contract status:

Danny Watkins, G: 4 years, 7.9 million, unknown signing bonus
Jaiquawn Jarrett, S: 4 years, unknown salary, unknown signing bonus
Curtis Marsh, CB: 4 years, 2.68 million, $543,000 signing bonus
Casey Matthews, LB: 4 years, 2.47 million, $434,000 signing bonus
Alex Henery, K: 4 years, unknown salary, unknown signing bonus
Dion Lewis, RB: 4 years, 2.14 million, $188,000 signing bonus
Julian Vandervelde, OL: 4 years, unknown salary, unknown signing bonus
Jason Kelce, OL: 4 years, unknown salary, unknown signing bonus
Brian Rolle, LB: 4 years, unknown salary, unknown signing bonus
Greg Lloyd, LB: 4 years, unknown salary, unknown signing bonus
Stanley Havill, RB: 4 years, unknown salary, unknown signing bonus

I'll update this list as more information about their salaries are released.
