The draft picks to ink their rookie deals were the following players.
4 Cardinals draft picks sign rookie contractsOLB Jordan Burch (third-round pick)CB Denzel Burke (fifth-round pick)OL Hayden Conner (sixth-round pick)S Kitan Crawford (seventh-round pick)
We will have the details of their deals in a few days, but the contracts for Burke, Conner and Crawford will be for the league minimum salary with a signing bonus and probably contract split if the player lands on injured reserve, lowering his salary.
All are four-year deals.
With these four players under contract, only DL Walter Nolen (Round 1), CB Will Johnson (Round 2) and LB Cody Simon (Round 4) need to sign their deals.
