The domino effect of draft signings continued on Monday, as the Philadelphia Eagles signed second-round choice LeSean McCoy to a four-year contract.

Those that do “hold out” and wait to sign until after training camp begins put themselves and their prospective squads at a disadvantage - as valuable time is lost for development and improvement.
