Steelers Sign Two More Draft Picks

by maryrose on Jul 12, 2008 5:11 PM EDT Comment 1 comment

Mike Humpal and Ryan Mundy, both sixth-round draft picks, were added to the fold leaving only the top two guns, Rashard Mendenhall and Limas Sweed left unsigned. The signing were almost identical. Humpal gets a $71,600 bonus and mundy gets $67,600. Both are signed for three years and will make $295,000 this season, $385,000 in 2009 and $470,000 in 2010.

Humpal played at Iowa and was an effective linebacker in his last two seasons, including six interceptions. Mundy is a local high school product and played at West Virginia after transferring from Michigan. He is a safety who had three picks and 62 tackles last season. Both figure to really help us on special teams if they can make the 45-man squad.

Good progress

Well, at least they got the guy who figure to be role players taken care of. Now, they can focus on Mendenhall and Sweed, and hopefully get both done prior to Training Camp. The only likely holdup will be if their agents use the logic that both of them were steals at their draft spot and should be payed like Top 15 and first round picks, respectively. Obviously, that won’t fly with the FO, nor should it.
