Two more first-rounders have signed on the dotted line: Earl Thomas with the Seahawks and Kyle Wilson with the Jets.

Thomas, a cornerback out of Texas and the No. 14 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, agreed to a five-year deal in Seattle worth $21.1 million, $12.32 of which is guaranteed money.

"Thank u jesus the deal is finally done bout to go sign the paperwork now," Thomas, who could slide right into the Seahawks' starting free safety role, wrote on Twitter.

Wilson, also a defensive back, received a five-year, $13 million deal with $7 million guaranteed, according to the Associated Press. He'll be fighting for time as New York's nickel cornerback, behind starters Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie.

"I'm a millionaire!!!!!! And headed to camp," Wilson wrote on his Twitter page.
