Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have agreed to terms with defensive end Gaines Adams, the No. 4 overall pick in the draft.

Terms are not yet available.

Adams is the first player taken in the top five spots to sign.

This doesn't mean that there will be a run on the top three picks, however. Over the past few years, a big gap has developed between the contract paid to the guy taken at No. 3 and the player taken at No. 4.

The Bucs landed at No. 4 after losing a coin flip with the Browns. After the Browns finally sign No. 3 pick Joe Thomas, it could be Cleveland that in reality lost that flip.

It's always nice for a defense of lineman to set the signing bar...thus the draft picks on O can get more money out of it.

Tampa Bay's Gaines Adams became the highest pick in this year's draft to sign a contract when he agreed Thursday to a six-year, $46 million deal that enabled him to report to training camp on time.
