Two more picks sign; other deals close

GEORGETOWN, Ky. -- As the club continues to negotiate with other unsigned draft picks, including a conversation tonight with Johnathan Joseph's agent, the Bengals have announced the signings of fourth-round defensive tackle Domata Peko of Michigan State and seventh-round safety Ethan Kilmer of Penn State.

Each player signed a four-year contract, the maximum allowed for players chosen in Rounds 2-7.

The Bengals have now signed three draft picks; previously signed was seventh-round WR Bennie Brazell of Louisiana State.

Other players who have reached verbal agreements on contracts are second-round offensive lineman Andrew Whitworth (also of LSU) and sixth-round wide receiver Reggie McNeal (Texas A&M).

As of the dinner hour today, 21 of 32 first-round picks had signed. On July 28 a year ago, only two had signed.
