Coming Together

Choice Agrees to Terms; Bennett Getting Close

IRVING, Texas - On the eve of their training camp report date, the Cowboys agreed to terms with fourth-round pick Tashard Choice and also appear close to reaching an agreement with second-round pick Martellus Bennett, possibly before Thursday's departure to Oxnard, Calif.

Coming to terms with Bennett would leave only first-round picks Felix Jones and Mike Jenkins unsigned, and the team hopes to have both players signed in time for Friday's opening camp practice at 2:15 p.m. (PDT).

The last time the Cowboys had two first-rounders in the same class was 2005, when DeMarcus Ware and Marcus Spears each missed the start of camp because of ongoing negotiations. Jones (22nd overall) and Jenkins (25th) have the same agent, Eugene Parker, which could accelerate the contract talks.

The Cowboys also agreed to a four-year deal with sixth-round pick Erik Walden on Tuesday night, and fifth-rounder Orlando Scandrick officially signed on Wednesday.

Choice will compete with Jones for carries behind Pro Bowl running back Marion Barber, the team's unquestioned starter now that Julius Jones has left for the Seahawks via free agency. Bennett, an All-Big 12 tight end at Texas A&M, is expected to replace Anthony Fasano as Jason Witten's complement in two-tight end sets.

The team is scheduled to arrive in Oxnard on Thursday, with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones and head coach Wade Phillips addressing the media later in the afternoon.

 
Jets signed Vernon Gholston

Overnight negotiations Friday culminated with the New York Jets reaching a five-year contract agreement with first-round draft pick Vernon Gholston that includes $21 million in guarantees.

The linebacker's deal could max out at $50 million if he reaches all of his performance clauses. If the No. 6 pick does not, the deal would still be worth $32.5 million.
 
Steelers signed Limas Sweed. 4 years. Terms not disclosed.

All Steeler rookies are signed. Camp open in two days.
