Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Profootballtalk.com is reporting that Heyward-Bey's deal, which has not yet been signed, covers only five years. For the first sixteen picks in the draft, the maximum duration is six. There has been a trend over the past couple of years toward five-year contracts below the top five. ... With a deal in hand, Heyward-Bey, with even his college coach admitting the seventh pick overall still needs to work on his hands, will benefit greatly from getting in a full training camp.
