Raiders sign Jeanty, several draft picks prior to rookie minicamp

As rookie minicamp is set to begin, the Las Vegas Raiders have put pen to paper with some of their draft picks.

Out of the 11-player draft class, the Raiders have officially agreed to contract terms with eight of them.

The most notable signing of the bunch is certainly sixth overall pick running back Ashton Jeanty, who agreed to a fully guaranteed contract with his fifth-year option. The contract comes with $35.895 million, which is the same for any player at any position drafted sixth overall. However, the compensation is significant for Jeanty, as the contract makes him the 11th-highest paid running back in the NFL at the moment before he even plays a single snap.
