Are The Chances Of McCoy Reporting To Camp On Time Improving?

TAMPA – It came in an indirect manner, but some encouraging news came down nonetheless on the Gerald McCoy signing front Monday.

Rams GM Bill Devaney told Alex Marves of FOXSports.com that there is a “really good chance’’ he’ll get first overall pick Sam Bradford signed before Rams rookies report to training camp on Wednesday.

What’s encouraging about that is the general belief that McCoy, the third overall pick, plans on waiting until Bradford signs before signing a deal with the Bucs.

If Bradford signs before Rams rookie workouts begin on Thursday morning it will give the Bucs 48 hours to work a deal for McCoy, whose first workout with the Bucs is scheduled for Saturday morning.

One reason fans may want to keep an eye on the Bradford talks is the fact that both Bradford and McCoy are represented by the same agency and that agent Ben Dogra is believed to be involved in both negotiations.

As of late Monday only one first-round draft pick (Dez Bryant of Dallas) had been signed. That and concern about the new labor agreement have some agents fearing that first-round holdouts may be plentiful this year.
