Ferrell totaled 166 stops over three seasons, with 50 for loss with 27 sacks.

He earned multiple All-American honors and picked up the Ted Hendricks Award for the nation's top defensive end last season.

D-line teammates and first-round picks Christian Wilkins (Miami; $15.4M) and Dexter Lawrence (New York Giants; $13.2M) recently wrapped up their deals as well.

Pen to paper.
