Marv is right, to a point. If Donte misses all of TC, then you can be he won't be starting. Four games isn't enough to learn the entire defensive playbook and he won't have any experience to bring to the regular season.
I am not worried he won't be signed within the next week, however. Picks 1-7 have all signed with their teams so the money part of the contract doesn't really play into this. It has to be the length of it like so many other posters here have already mentioned.
