Will Harrell hold out?

The Green Bay Packers are barely over a week away from the opening of training camp and still have six draft choices to sign.

First round draft picks are always the last ones to sign. So will the Packers' first selection, Justin Harrell, hold out?

Last year's 16th overall selection in the NFL draft elected to do so.

"Last year's 16th overall pick, safety Jason Allen of Miami, signed a six-year contract that included up to $9 million in guaranteed money," reports Rob Reischel for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "But Allen held out 10 days, was the second-to-last first-round draft pick to sign and played from behind all season."

Harrell's agent, Eugene Parker, is hoping for the best.

"I've had good, positive relationships with the Packers and (negotiator) Andrew (Brandt) and I'd expect that will continue," Parker told the Journal Sentinel. "It's hard to say how smooth something will go. But I'm optimistic."

The Packers have 11 draft picks to fit into their $4.907 million rookie salary pool.

"It will be a challenge for Brandt to stay below that rookie cap number and he might need some creative deals to do so," according to Reischel.
