NFL: Agent Goeas: Bills rookie G Levitre close to signing

PITTSFORD, N.Y. — Buffalo Bills second-round pick Andy Levitre is close to agreeing to a contract and could report to training camp as early as Sunday afternoon.

The offensive guard’s agent Leo Goeas told The Associated Press that “we’re just about there,” noting that the two sides are going over the final language of the deal. The 51st overall pick out of Oregon State, Levitre made 39 starts and was first-team All-Pac 10 last year.
The Bills, who opened training camp Saturday, are counting on Levitre, who is being given an opportunity to start at left guard this season.
Aside from Levitre, the Bills have three unsigned rookie draft picks: first-rounders Aaron Maybin and Eric Wood, and second-rounder Jairus Byrd.
