INDIANAPOLIS —
With the first training-camp practice set to get underway Friday morning at Rose-Hulman, Indianapolis Colts president Bill Polian is working toward getting all nine of the franchise’s draft picks signed as quickly as possible.
A day after sixth-round pick Pierre Garcon (wide receiver) signed with the team, second-rounder Mike Pollak (offensive guard/center), fourth-round draft pick Jacob Tamme (tight end), fifth-round selection Marcus Howard (defensive end), along with sixth-rounders Steve Justice (center/offensive guard) and Mike Hart (running back), agreed to a deals on Wednesday and are expected to report in time for today's 2 p.m. deadline.
Contract terms for Garcon, Pollak, Tamme, Howard, Justice and Hart have not been disclosed per team policy. Tamme and unsigned sixth-round draft choice Tom Santi, along with former practice squad member Gijon Robinson, figure to provide most of the depth behind starter Dallas Clark.
Negotiations with Santi — who may begin preseason workout on the physically unable to perform list due to a knee injury.
Also in negotiations are linebacker Philip Wheeler (third round) and offensive guard/center Jamey Richard (seventh round) will probably be completed sometime today.
