Dallas Cowboys signed first-round pick Taco Charlton to a four year deal, it was reported on Thursday.
Charlton, who finished with 9.5 sacks as a senior at Michigan, is the first top Cowboy draft pick to ever sign ahead of training camp in the Jerry Jones era.
The Dallas Cowboys, notorious for waiting to sign draft picks, broke away from form by coming to terms with first-round pick Taco Charlton.
It’s the first time since owner Jerry Jones bought the team in 1989 that the Cowboys have ever had a top draft pick under contract before the rookie mini camp, which begins Friday and runs through Sunday, according to a source.
Terms were not disclosed, but the Charlton deal will be in the ballpark of last year’s 28th pick, guard Joshua Garnett of the San Francisco 49ers, who signed a four-year deal worth $9.3 million, including a $4.9 million signing bonus.
