Larry Fitzgerald is the latest rookie to get a huge contract, signing a deal with Arizona on Monday that appears to give the third pick in the draft as much money as either of the first two choices.

Fitzgerald, the wide receiver from Pitt, received $20 million in guaranteed money from the Cardinals, the same as quarterback Eli Manning, No. 1 overall, got from the New York Giants, and $1.5 million more than Oakland gave offensive tackle Robert Gallery. A source who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity said Fitzgerald's entire package could be worth up to $60 million, $6 million more than Manning could get with incentives and the same as Gallery's deal.

On the other hand, contracts are an inexact science, especially this year, when deals have to be creative to fit into an increasingly complicated rookie salary cap system. Moreover, teams rarely announce figures in deals and agents often inflate theirs to make themselves look good.

Fitzgerald's signing means only seven of the 32 first-round choices were unsigned as camps moved into full swing Monday. Green Bay was the other team to sign its first-rounder, cornerback Ahmad Carroll, 25th overall.

The most difficult negotiations are likely to be with Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers (No. 4), Browns tight end Kellen Winslow (No. 6) and perhaps Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger (No. 11).

n Bucs: Wide receiver Joe Jurevicius, one of the heroes of Tampa Bay's run to the Super Bowl two years ago, will undergo back surgery that will keep him out indefinitely. Jurevicius missed most of last season with a knee injury.

"It's frustrating, but it's been frustrating for some time," coach Jon Gruden said of the injuries to the wide receiver, who starred in the win over Philadelphia in the NFC title game two seasons ago. "Let's get him right. The knee is better. He's rehabbed the knee, which is very good. He'll have the back surgically fixed and hopefully he can return sometime soon."

Star fullback Mike Alstott, who hadn't played since getting hit on top of his head against Indianapolis last Oct. 6, was so excited about the first full contact drill of training camp Monday that he dressed and made his way to the practice field more than a half-hour early.

"I guess the thing I was looking for - not for myself, but for the coaching staff - was how aggressive I was going to be, if I would be able to hit the hole and lead block, and if I was going to go in there and get some good contact," Alstott said.

n Dolphins: Ricky Williams filed retirement papers with the NFL that probably will prevent him from playing this season, even if he changes his mind about quitting. Miami was informed Monday that the papers were filed with the NFL Management Council late last week, a few days after Williams told the Dolphins he decided to retire at 27.

The papers aren't binding. But because Williams was in the league's substance abuse program, he can't return for one year without penalty. Williams has said he's a three-time offender in the program, meaning the penalty would be an indefinite suspension that would prohibit him from playing this season.

n Lions: Wide receiver Roy Williams made his first appearance at training camp. Williams, the seventh overall pick, signed Sunday night after missing two days.

"It's fun to be out here and start working," Williams said. "I only missed a day and a half of practices and I'm caught up already."

n Colts: Edgerrin James said Monday when Indianapolis opened training camp that he intends to play out the final year of his contract with them, dispelling any notion he would seek a trade to the Dolphins.

"When next year comes, I'll worry about next year," James said. "Right now, I'm here, so I'll worry about that."
