The four-year deal is worth about $14.5 million, the maximum allowed under the NFL collective bargaining agreement for Cooper as the seventh pick overall. The 6-foot-2, 311-pound guard from North Carolina missed the first two days of training camp, when the team worked out in shorts. He was en route to Arizona and also missed Sundays practice, the teams first in pads. He was expected to practice Monday. Cooper had worked out at left guard with the starting unit through the off-season. The agreement leaves two first-round picks unsigned -- cornerback Dee Milliner of the New York Jets (ninth pick overall) and guard Chance Warmack of the Tennessee Titans (10th). Arizona coach Bruce Arians got word of the contract agreement when a note was passed to him during his daily briefing with reporters on Sunday. "Just got word that Jonathan Cooper is done and is on his way," Arians said. "He still missed time, but Im a lot happier now. Were excited to have him in and watch him run the conditioning test -- in front of the whole team." Although Cooper did miss a bit of training camp, his off-season work leaves him familiar with whats expected of him. "He got a zillion reps," Arians said. He joins an offensive unit that was calledd out for poor play by its coach on Sunday.dddddddddddd. "Thats the disappointing thing to me right now," Arians said. "Its not like our guys didnt have plenty of reps, because we had two practices going on during all of OTAs. Theres no excuses right now for making the mental errors that were making on offence." The coach has declared competition for the two starting tackle jobs -- Levi Brown and Nate Potter on the left side, newcomer Eric Winston and Bobby Massie on the right. Daryn Colledge has moved from left to right guard with Lyle Sendlein at centre. "Im very disappointed right now with the play up front," he said. "Way too many mental errors. The physical part well start seeing this afternoon. Weve got to get better. I think that theyve got enough pride that theyre going to fix it. I think theyre anxious to get pads on. Of all the people that get hurt playing in shorts, its the big guys." Cooper, a first-team Associated Press All-American, started a school-record 48 games at left guard for North Carolina and earned the 2012 Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the best lineman in the SEC. He is the first guard taken in the top eight of the draft since 1982, when Mike Munchak was selected by the Houston Oilers as the eighth overall pick. In a draft loaded with players up front, Cooper was the fifth lineman selected. ' ' '
