Hours after the No. 3 overall pick in the NFL draft agreed to terms, the No. 4 pick did as well.
The Philadelphia Eagles announced late Saturday night that tackle Lane Johnson has agreed to terms on a four-year contract.
Terms were not disclosed. Johnson, a 23-year-old Oklahoma product, was due to count $3,609,655 against the Eagles' salary cap in 2013 as part of the rookie compensation pool.
Unlike No. 3 pick Dion Jordan, who agreed to terms shortly after the Miami Dolphins reported to camp on Saturday, Johnson never came close to missing time. Eagles rookies report on Monday.
"We're very excited to have all of our draft picks ready to go for the start of training camp," Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said in a statement issued by the team.
"I give Lane and his agent, Ken Sarnoff, a lot of credit for their work in getting this deal complete. Both had stated to us how important it was to get this deal signed before the rookies report on Monday and they kept their word. We're all looking forward to watch Lane get his NFL career started."
No. 1 pick Eric Fisher has yet to sign with the Kansas City Chiefs. No. 2 pick Luke Joeckel signed a fully guaranteed four-year, $21.2 million contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars on June 24.
