Wowza, they want their contracts guaranteed, or else.This includes Mike Green who wants his guaranteed.....

That backfired on one of the Browns 2nd round picks who has been arrested for domestic abuse.

Los Angeles Chargers second-round rookie wide receiver Tre Harris is a training camp holdout and could well be the first in an unprecedented number.

Harris did not report on Saturday -- the deadline for Bolts rookies -- NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported.

The Chargers are the first team to open training camp, with veterans set for a Wednesday reporting date. However, L.A. is hardly the only team dealing with a second-round conundrum.

Thirty of 32 second-round picks have yet to sign their rookie contracts because of a disagreement over guaranteed money, Rapoport reported.

No. 33 overall pick Carson Schwesinger of the Cleveland Browns -- the top pick of the second round -- has signed and so too has No. 34 pick Jayden Higgins of the Houston Texans

Both Schwesinger and Higgins signed fully guaranteed deals, which NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero noted on May 9 -- when Schwesinger's contract was announced by Cleveland -- could have a ripple effect. More than two months later, no other second-round selection has agreed to terms, so it's had a massive effect.

Cincinnati Bengals first-round pick (No. 17 overall) Shemar Stewart and Denver Broncos first-rounder (No. 20) Jahdae Barron are the only opening-round selections unsigned. Stewart and the Bengals' contract impasse has also been related to contract guarantees.

Well I guess a bunch of 2nd rounders will lose a season of pay and a season of service time.
