While his teammates on the Oakland Raiders attended meetings at the beginning of training camp, the first team selection in the past of the NFL Draft, Rolando McClain, waited at his home in Oakland hoping he could be with them for the first practice.

Signed for five years and $ 40 million.

After signing his first professional contract, McClain became the summer home of the Raiders to be at training camp practice for the first time.

"My goal was to be here for the first practice the team," said McClain. "I know I missed some meetings, but my goal was to be here for the first practice. We were able to achieve."

McClain, the eighth overall pick in the Draft, was barely the Tecer person selected in the first round to sign his contract and the highest selection so. Reportedly signed for five years and $ 40 million, of which $ 23 is guaranteed.

The Pittsburgh Steelers agreed to terms with offensive tackle, five-time Pro Bowl, Flozell Adams, on a two-year contract, according to a league source.

Replace Willie Colon

Adams, 35 years old, visited the Steelers in late June and took a physical exam. Adams will take the place of the injured right tackle Willie Colon, who is out for the NFL betting season after tearing his right Achilles tendon if during offseason training.

Pittsburgh coaches are determining the best conditions for Adams, according to the same source. The Steelers won a Super Bowl left tackle Max Starks playing the right side, and it may be that Adams, a longtime left tackle for the Dallas Cowboys, will be on the opposite side for Pittsburgh.

The Cowboys cut to Adams early in the offseason to avoid paying him his salary of $ 6.5 million in 2010, thinking that their levels have dropped with age, and many saw it as the best tackle on the market.

While college football betting players don’t have to worry about preseason games, NFL football betting players can warm up their skills beginning on August 8th at Fawcett Stadium with the Hall of Fame Game, which features Dallas and Cincinnati this season.  Here’s a look at how the two offenses will stack up, even though we won’t see the first-string guys for that long.

Cowboys Bengals Betting – August 8th, 8:00 PM ET

The news around the Dallas offense surrounds receiver Dez Bryant, the talented but apparently troubled wideout that the Cowboys took with the 24th pick in the draft.  Bryant was suspended for virtually all of the 2009 season at Oklahoma State for lying to the NCAA about his meetings with Deion Sanders, and while there’s a current story going around that Bryant won’t carry pads for veterans, a rookie tradition, Bryant seems to be a good kid who only wants to play football.  He’s already signed, which is something that many thought wouldn’t happen, and he’s a great addition to a group of targets for Tony Romo that includes last year’s breakout star, Miles Austin, tight end Jason Witten and Roy Williams.  The three-headed monster of Felix Jones, Marion Barber and Tashard Choice coming out of the backfield will have heads spinning.
