PHOENIX -- The Arizona Cardinals signed second-round draft pick Deuce Lutui, an offensive lineman out of Southern California, to a four-year contract on Tuesday.
The Cardinals have had their share of holdouts over the years, but Lutui said he was anxious to reach agreement with the team he cheered while growing up in nearby Mesa.
"It's something I discussed with my agent (Max Hanneman), that I wanted to play right away and make my mark on the field," Lutui said. "It's a big relief, just doing that paperwork. Now it's all field work from here, just playing ball and focusing on what we've got to do for the Arizona Cardinals."
Three of the Cardinals' top four picks remain unsigned -- quarterback Matt Leinart of USC, their first-round selection; tight end Leonard Pope of Georgia, a third-rounder; and defensive tackle Gabe Watson of Michigan, a fourth-round choice. The Cardinals report to their Flagstaff training camp July 30.
