Buccaneers sign three more draft picks to contracts

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed three more of their draft picks. Seventh-rounder Stevie Tu’ikolovatu, third-round linebacker Kendell Beckwith and fifth-round running back Jeremy McNichols all signed four-year contracts this year.

First-round tight end O.J. Howard signed his contract yesterday, leaving second-round safety Justin Evans and third-round receiver Chris Godwin as the only unsigned Bucs’ draft picks.

Rookies all sign mandatory four-year contracts with pre-set signing bonuses and salaries, so there’s not all that much negotation going on here. Which is why the Bucs waited until OTAs to get all their rookies under contract.
