Deals For Two More First-Rounders

Two more first-rounders have agreed to contracts.

Tailback Rashard Mendenhall, the 23rd overall selection, gets a five-year, $12.5 million deal from the Pittsburgh Steelers that includes just more than $7.1 million in guaranteed money.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers, while awaiting the possible arrival of quarterback Brett Favre, finished a five-year, $14 million pact with cornerback Aqib Talib, the 20th overall choice. It includes $8.2 million in guaranteed money.

That's 19 of 31 first-rounders signed around the NFL.
