INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Mike Pollak insisted he would show up for work on time.

After a series of whirlwind negotiations, Pollak, the Indianapolis Colts’ top draft pick, and most of his rookie classmates will report to camp together Thursday.

Pollak and five other Indy draft picks agreed to four-year deals Wednesday, with Pollak expected to earn roughly $3 million, according to a source with knowledge of the negotiations who requested anonymity because the contract includes a confidentiality clause.

“That was one of the major prerequisites for him and his family when I first sat down with them,” said Ken Zuckerman, Pollak’s agent. “He said ’holdout’ was not a category he wanted to be in.”

Zuckerman confirmed the agreement in a text message to The Associated Press on Wednesday afternoon and later said Pollak was expected to sign the contract Wednesday night.

For the Colts it was a busy final day before heading to Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, where practice begins Friday.

Besides signing Pollak, a college center taken 59th overall, they also agreed to terms with fourth-round pick Jacob Tamme, a tight end from Kentucky; fifth-round pick Marcus Howard, a pass rushing defensive end from Georgia; two sixth-rounders — offensive lineman Steve Justice of Wake Forest and running back Mike Hart of Michigan; and seventh-rounder Jamey Richard, an offensive lineman from Buffalo.

Agents for third-round pick Philip Wheeler, a linebacker from Georgia Tech, and Virginia tight end Tom Santi, another sixth-rounder, did not return messages left by The Associated Press.

Until Tuesday, the Colts were 0-for-9 in signing draft picks. But when receiver Pierre Garcon, a sixth-round choice from Mount Union, a Division III school in Ohio, signed Tuesday, the floodgates opened.

“We knew all along we would work something out,” said Howard’s agent, Brian Ayrault. “He wanted to be in camp on time, I wanted him to be in camp on time and we were fighting for the best deal we could get.”

Ayrault would not divulge financial details of the deal.

Like Howard, who is moving from linebacker to defensive end, Pollak is switching positions.

He was considered one of the nation’s best centers last season at Arizona State, but the Colts expect him to compete for the starting guard spot vacated by Jake Scott, who signed with Tennessee in free agency. Scott and tight end Ben Utecht, who signed with Cincinnati, are the only starters missing from last year’s team that went 13-3 and won its fifth straight AFC South title.

The Colts’ other starting guard, Ryan Lilja, is expected to open training camp on the physically unable to perform list, giving Pollak and Justice — also a college center — more time to learn the Colts’ system.

It was one of the reasons Pollak realized he couldn’t afford a lengthy holdout.
