BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) -- Rookie safety Donte Whitner signed with the Buffalo Bills on Saturday, joining the team after the No. 8 draft pick missed the first eight days of training camp.

 

The former Ohio State star had been the top drafted player still unsigned and only one of three first-round selections not under contract.

 

Whitner was seeking a five-year contract that included about $14 million guaranteed. The Bills as recently as Wednesday were offering him $12.9 million guaranteed over five years. Talks had stalled last week, with Bills general manager Marv Levy saying Friday the two sides were at "a stalemate."
