Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn confirmed his agent, Tom Condon, has had preliminary contract talks with the Raiders, who hold the No. 1 overall pick. Last year, there was a lot of talk about "signability" for the Texans in selecting DE Mario Williams over RB Reggie Bush after striking a deal with Williams the night before the draft.
"(Oakland) sent some kind of contract where they started negotiating, talking about numbers and things like that," Quinn said. "I can't really go into depth about all of that stuff because my agent handles that. I was working out earlier in the morning and then going around doing a bunch of things like this, so it's been tough to keep track."
LSU QB JaMarcus Russell said his agent hasn't heard from the Raiders about a contract, though it's likely he was simply being coy about the matter. Georgia Tech WR Calvin Johnson said he's unsure if his agent had talked numbers with Oakland. Neither player seemed overly concerned that Quinn was telling reporters his agent is talking contract.
