After deftly moving around in the draft to get the guys he wanted, Ballard has set to work getting those picks signed. Five players have already been signed to contracts with the team, including linebacker Ben Banogu Nate Hairston Color Rush Jersey , tackle Jackson Barton, defensive end Gerri Green, center Javon Patterson, and Linebacker E.J.
