Fifth-round offensive tackle Marshall Newhouse received a signing bonus of $149,850, bringing the base value of his contract to $1.939 million dollars. Sixth-round running back James Starks received a $100,300 signing bonus, pushing the total value of his contract to $1.89 million dollars. Seventh-round defensive end C.J. Wilson’s signing bonus was $50,354, making his four-year pact worth $1.84 million dollars.
