The Rams agreed to terms on a contract with rookie tight end Terrance Ferguson on Saturday, the team announced, ending the possibility of training camp opening without the team reaching a deal with its top draft pick this spring.
The standard four-year deal, worth $9,713,466, includes $8,046,753 in guaranteed money, according to ESPN.
Taken in the second round in April’s NFL draft, Ferguson was the 46th overall pick out of Oregon. He was the last member of the Rams’ draft class who had not signed his rookie contract, raising concerns about a potential holdout during training camp despite Ferguson’s participation in the Rams’ offseason program.
This was part of a pattern of slow negotiations between second-round picks and their representation and NFL teams this summer as players pushed for greater guarantees in their contracts. But last week, a trickle of agreements were made between second rounders and their new teams, paving the way for deals like Ferguson’s to be completed Saturday.
Ferguson is expected to compete for playing time, particularly in a pass-catching role, while veteran Tyler Higbee still figures to be the Rams’ starter at tight end.
