For the 53rd straight year, players will report to training camp at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pa. this week. Heading into camp, Steelers’ 1st- round pick remains unsigned but holds himself with extreme optimism. Terrell Edmunds, the No. 28 overall pick, is the only Steelers’ draft pick without a contract just days away from […]

This is somewhat a surprise. As the article states, could be a hangup with the language on how signing bonus paid out.
He can not afford to miss any camp time.

Of note...guess who his agent is? Same guy who Joey Bosa had when he held out on his rookie contract for a month. For what reason? Offset language.

Edmunds TALK TO YOUR ****** AGENT. That **** might fly with the Chargers but this is not the Chargers. The Steelers paid Jarvis Jones his entire contract. They picked up the expensive option on Dupree. You will get paid. If you sit out for even a week your initial impact will be diminished and trust me the Allen kid from Penn will be past you. Dont listen to the lawyer. He's gonna **** ya. PLAY BALL.
 
I know NE's RB just signed. I would think they have a good feel for the perimeters of the surrounding contracts....

Not worried. Edmunds will sign. There are other top picks who haven't signed yet like Baker Mayfield. Barkley just signed two days ago.

Well, Bosa was a top 3 pick. Not everyone wants to play for the Chargers.

Edmunds according to the media which includes former players, scouts and GM's was not projected to be a first-round pick. He has a chance to play a lot as a rookie. These days the amount of money allocated per pick has limited flexibility. If he missed 2 weeks of camp, that would suck for his production as a rookie.

It doesn’t matter that Bosa was a top 3. He was a first rounder. All first rounders have 5th year options. The players have their union to blame for this. They agreed to the parameters of the rookie scale. Left out in the fold were agents....Boo hoo hoo. They are the ones along with the players who get screwed if the option is forfeited by trade. De Smith literally dropped the ball on that part of the negotiation for a rookie scale.
