NFL: Cardinals agree to deal with top pick OT Brown

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — First-round draft pick Levi Brown agreed to terms today with the Arizona Cardinals, his agent said.

Contract details weren't immediately but it's believed to be a six-year, $62 million deal with more $18 million guaranteed. Brown's agent, Joel Segal, said his client was en route to Phoenix tonight from his home in Virginia.

Brown was scheduled to take a physical tomorrow before signing his contract and then join the Cardinals at training camp on the Northern Arizona University campus.

The offensive tackle out of Penn State was the No. 5 overall draft pick and has missed the Cardinals' first five days of practices.

"Levi is looking forward to joining the Cardinals coaches and players at practice (Friday)," Segal said. "The Cardinals stepped up and made this deal happen."
