Raiders training camp preview: Team counting on veteran linebackers

The Raiders agreed to terms on a contract with rookie wide receiver Jack Bech, a source with knowledge of the situation confirmed Thursday.

Bech, 22, was selected with the No. 58 overall pick in the second round out of TCU in April. His signing means the Raiders have all 11 of their draft picks under contract. Rookies were scheduled to report to training camp Thursday.

Bech’s deal became more complicated in May when Houston Texas wide receiver Jayden Higgins, the No. 34 overall pick, became the first second-round pick to sign a fully guaranteed contract since the NFL instituted its rookie wage scale in 2011. That created standoffs between several teams and their second-round picks.

Bech did not receive a fully guaranteed deal, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
