Browns first-round draft pick Joe Thomas and second-round pick Eric Wright are close to agreeing to terms on their contracts and are expected to be on the field for the first day of full-squad training camp Friday.
Browns draft pick Joe Thomas"They're not done yet, but we hope to have something done within the next couple of hours," agent Peter Schaffer, who represents both players, said Thursday afternoon.
Thomas, the left tackle, and Wright, the cornerback, are two of the Browns top three picks. The third, quarterback Brady Quinn, picked No. 22 overall, has not yet agreed to terms.
These are the two guys that I wanted into camp for sure since I dont really see Quinn starting anyways for most of the season. It will be great having Thomas and Wright in camp at the beginning and hopefully they will both be starting on opening day kicking some black and gold butt.
