Montario Hardesty, the draft pick right after Ben Tate, just inked a deal with the Cleveland Browns. This deal should set the floor for negotiations, just need to tweak those numbers up a touch and get it done.

I haven't heard much about Dez Bryant's contract numbers (whether they are higher or lower than expected.) It'll be interesting to see whether there is movement up toward Kareem Jackson's range with one first rounder already signed.
