Two down, five to go
With NFL training camps opening later this month, teams are beginning to sign their draft picks. The Bills began their own process by signing cornerbacks Cary Harris and Ellis Lankster on Tuesday. The team still has five rookies unsigned, including defensive end Aaron Maybin. Don't expect his deal to get done until the eve of training camp at the earliest.
Harris and Lankster were the team's sixth and seventh-round draft picks, so it makes sense they would be the first to sign since their contracts were easy to complete. Both players are long shots to make the roster because there are very few openings at cornerback. It's possible one of them could bet the odds, but Harris and Lankster will have a hard time getting the repetitions needed to take a job from a veteran.
