LIMAS SWEED AND RASHARD MENDENHALL SIGN
The Steelers came to contract terms today with their top two draft picks and will have all their picks signed to contracts when they open training camp in Latrobe.
Running back Rashard Mendenhall, the team's first-round draft choice, came to terms on a five-year deal. Wide receiver Limas Sweed, their second-round choice, agreed to a four-year contract.
Mendenhall will sign for five years at $12.55 million. He will receive bonuses as part of that contract worth $6.83 million. Contract terms for Sweed were not immediately available.
