Agents for first-round pick Jared Odrick and second-round choice Koa Misi say their clients have agreed to terms. They were the team’s last unsigned draft picks.

A defensive lineman from Penn State, Odrick agreed to a five-year deal worth $7.13 million guaranteed, and the package could be worth up to $13 million, agent Drew Rosenhaus said Thursday.

Odrick was voted Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year by conference coaches as a senior.

Misi agreed to a four-year deal, said his agent, Kenny Zuckerman. Misi played at Utah and was the 40th pick in the draft.

BENGALS

GEORGETOWN, Ky. — Terrell Owens missed his flight but got his number.

When he finally makes it to town — a little late — he’ll be wearing his familiar 81.

The Cincinnati Bengals’ latest addition missed his overnight flight from the West Coast and had to take a later one on Thursday, delaying his debut at training camp.

The Bengals had planned on him arriving early in the day, taking his physical and signing his one-year contract while the rest of the team held its first workout. They scheduled an introductory news conference after the morning practice.

The news conference had to be rescheduled for after the evening session. Coach Marvin Lewis wasn’t sure whether the 36-year-old receiver would arrive in time to work out.

BRONCOS

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Tim Tebow has agreed to a contract with the Denver Broncos.

The two-time national champion from Florida and 25th pick in the NFL draft missed the first three workouts for rookies and selected veterans while his agent, Jimmy Sexton, and general manager Brian Xanders hammered out a deal.

ESPN has reported the deal is worth $33 million over five years with $8.7 million guaranteed.

Tebow is expected to practice Friday morning, the final session before training camp begins Sunday with a full squad.

The signing of Tebow leaves top pick Demaryius Thomas, a wide receiver out of Georgia Tech, as the only unsigned member of Denver’s draft class.

COWBOYS

SAN ANTONIO — The Dallas Cowboys have signed a college track standout who hasn’t played football since high school and a defensive lineman to supplement an injury-plagued position.

Teddy Williams has been a standout sprinter at Texas-San Antonio for the past four years. The 6-foot-3, 200-pound receiver last played football at John Tyler High School in Tyler, but he was on the practice field for the Cowboys’ workout Thursday after signing a contract.

The Cowboys also signed defensive lineman Jimmy Saddler-McQueen from Texas A&M-Kingsville, whom the Chicago Bears cut in the spring.

Cowboys defensive linemen Sean Lissemore (groin), Josh Brent (broken hand) and Jason Hatcher (elbow) missed practice with injuries.
