The Steelers on Thursday came to terms with first-round pick Bud Dupree on a four-year deal with a team option for a fifth year.

The NFL's slotting system places Dupree's total contract at $9.2 million with a $4.9 million signing bonus.

Dupree, an outside linebacker, was taken with the 22nd overall pick in the draft April 30.

Dupree (6-foot-4, 264 pounds) finished his four years at Kentucky with 23 1⁄2 sacks in 38 career starts including 7 1⁄2 as a senior last year.

Well he may not have scored super high on the wonderlic according to coach, but he is smart enough to be a millionaire before hitting thirty!

Litos it was a " / " not smart enough for an actual letter.
And the pot head in Dallas got 17 for three years!
Wonder what he scored on the test?
Sometimes it's better to take less pay with a organization that can help you grow
Into something that you want to become. Rather than to think your someone
Better than..

The slotting and contract limitations sure has sped up the signing process... maybe the only good thing in the latest CBA....

Gregory got a 4 year $2.2m contract, Collins (their UDFA with first round talent) got a 3 year $1.7m contract... unless we are talking about a different pot head?

James was signed, as well. A 4-year deal.
