Bills Sign McKelvin

Late Saturday afternoon, the Bills announced the signing of first round pick Leodis McKelvin. He gets a reported five year deal. His signing leaves only three other first round picks without contracts. McKelvin is expected to arrive at Camp in Pittsford in time for Sunday's meetings and the late afternoon walkthrough. In all, his brief two day absence cost him four practice sessions.

No money details have been announced, but its expected to pay him around $18 million dollars. The draft pick before McKelvin, LB Jerrod Mayo, received $18.9 million from the Patriots. The pick after, OT Ryan Clady, got $17.5 million from the Broncos. Now it will be interesting to see how quickly McKelvin can push Jabari Greer and William James for the starting spot opposite of Terrence McGee. James appears posititioned for the slot/3rd corner position, so the battle may be against Greer. McKelvin will also have to fight McGee and Roscoe Parrish for time on kick and punt returns. At Troy University, Leodis tied an NCAA record with 7 returns for TD's.
