The Detroit Lions won't have much trouble getting their 2017 rookie class under contract, and the deed figures to be done quite quickly this week.

Thursday afternoon, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press revealed on Twitter that the team expects to have most of their rookies signed before the opening of camp on Friday.

Also according to Birkett, the signatures are the only things being waited on right now, meaning the signings should start to roll in quickly in the next several days.

Rookies report for camp today, so those deals will start to be signed later today/tomorrow. — Dave Birkett (@davebirkett) May 11, 2017

The Lions have a class of nine players from their 2017 draft, most of whom fill critical needs at important spots on the roster. Certainly, it's good news that there will be few hangups with regards to contracts this spring.
