Another domino falls [Ryan O'Halloran]


If the Washington Redskins and LaRon Landry's agent, Joel Segal, were in fact waiting for No. 7 pick Adrian Peterson sign with Minnesota, their wait is over.


Peterson singed a five-year contract with $17 million in guarantees and a possible maximum value of $40.5 million, according to ESPN.


Landry is the sixth pick; the fifth pick is Arizona's Levi Brown, another Segal client who remains unsigned.


The thinking on both sides was that Peterson's deal would set the standard in the NFL slotting system. If Peterson gets $17 million guaranteed and a five-year contract, expect Landry's deal -- when completed -- to be for five years and around $17.5 million guaranteed.


* It's raining hard here at Redskin Park and at 3:15 p.m., Fan Appreciation Day was canceled. The next FAD is Aug. 8. Practice is supposed to start at 4 p.m. but is on hold until the weather clears up. A limited workout should be expected, though, possibly on the turf field.
