class on Wednesday Dermontti Dawson Jersey , leaving just Devin Bush and Justin Layne left to agree to terms"The Pittsburgh Steelers officially announced the signing of two more members of their 2019 draft class on Thursday afternoon, confirming four-year deals with tight end Zach Gentry and linebacker Ulysees Gilbert III via social media.These signings follow agreements made with third-round draft pick Diontae Johnson, fourth-round selection Benny Snell Jr. and seventh-round pick Derwin Gray announced on Wednesday, and deals signed by sixth-round picks Sutton Smith and Isaiah Buggs on Tuesday. And while the terms of their deals have yet to be revealed, it should be expected that the numbers will closely match the figures projected by OverTheCap.com ahead of the draft. A deal that would pay Gentry close to $2.85 million over the length of the contract and include a signing bonus worth in the region of $340,000.Gilbert is projected to receive a contract worth around $2.6 million, one that will come with a signing bonus worth just over $125 Jack Ham Jersey ,000.With rookie minicamp set to start on Friday, the Steelers now have seven of their nine draft picks under contract and it should be expected that an agreement with third-round selection Justin Layne will be confirmed in the coming days as well. A deal with linebacker Devin Bush is likely to take a little longer to negotiate, with agreements over the guaranteed portions of the contract and offset language often taking longer to work out. Once some of the names at the top end of the draft have agreed to terms, it should give Pittsburgh a framework for their deal with Bush.2019 NFL Draft Class:1 — Devin Bush — Unsigned3 — Diontae Johnson — Signed 4-year contract3 — Justin Layne — Unsigned4 — Benny Snell Jr. — Signed 4-year contract5 — Zach Gentry — Signed 4-year contract6 — Sutton Smith — Signed 4-year contract6 — Isaiah Buggs — Signed 4-year contract6 — Ulysees Gilbert III — Signed 4-year contract7 — Derwin Gray — Signed 4-year contract Steelers running back Le'Veon Bell reportedly plans to show up next week, signing his franchise tender and rejoining the team. But two important issues must be resolved before he can put pen to paper.First, the Steelers must decide whether they’ll seek a roster exemption for Bell. Second, if they do Jack Lambert Jersey , the Steelers and Bell will have to reach a written agreement as to what he’ll be paid while on roster-exempt status.As explained at the time, once the roster cuts to 53 occur, a franchise-tagged player and his team must agree in writing to his compensation while on roster-exempt status before he signs the tender. If they can’t strike a deal, the player’s only option is to not sign the tender.In early September, before it became clear Bell wouldn’t be showing up before the first game of the regular season, coach Mike Tomlin told reporters that he believes the Steelers already had applied for a roster exemption for Bell. Team spokesman Burt Lauten then informed the media that the team believes it can’t apply for a roster exemption until Bell signs the tender.But the tender can’t be signed until there’s a written agreement as to what Bell would receive while exempt from the roster, for up to two weeks. So the dog may end up chasing it’s tail on this one Mike Webster Jersey , soon.Meanwhile, Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette has raised a good point regarding Bell’s overall situation. If there’s going to be a two-week roster exemption (and, possibly, reduced pay for Bell), Bell should sign the tender on Friday and make his Week Six game check (whatever it may be) the first of two checks that may be lower than the $855,000 per week he’s due to make under the rules of the franchise tag.Whenever Bell plans to sign the tender, the process may be more complicated than simply showing up and securing the right to $855 Mel Blount Jersey ,000 per week for the balance of the season. The roster exemption issue will need to be addressed, with his compensation for those two weeks the biggest wild card.
