NFL "Late Round" Rookie Salary Differences: 2008 to 2013
Posted on 1/4/14 at 9:16 am

5th Round:
For my 2008 example, i picked Frank Okam, who was signed to a contract with a $178,000 signing bonus. he was the 151st pick
For my 2013 example, i'll pick the same slot: Joseph Randle, RB for the Cowboys. The contract will include a signing bonus of $188,880.
6th Round:
Colt Brennan was teh 186th pick and signed with the Skins:
In 2013, the Steeler's selected Justin Brown. His contract summary: Signing bonus: $105k with salaries of $405k, 495k, 585k, and 675k
So there is not a noticeable difference in the rookie contracts you found pre-CBA and post-CBA. The CBA did not markedly affect the guaranteed money late-round picks receive. Hell, the differences in signing bonus don't even appear to be rising with standard inflation.

I think a more noticeable difference is projected top 3 round picks leaving because of the new agreement in order to get a an earlier chance at the more lucrative post rookie contract.

Amen. These guys leaving as non first rounders are making mistakes.

I also agree with the threads premise (or what I perceive it to be) that it doesn't make much financial sense for projected late round picks to leave early.

It's all about getting to the 2nd contract quicker. You should know better

It's the 2nd Contract
quote:
Because of the NFL's new economic climate, which features a suffocating wage scale for rookies, especially those outside of the first round, any draftable prospect who isn't leaving school early to become a pro might be wasting time and money.
quote:
Tight end Jordan Reed, who left the Florida Gators early despite not having a first- or second-round projection, openly admitted starting his NFL clock earlier was a deciding factor.
quote:
Considering the NFL's big money now comes on a player's second contract -- if he can get to it -- the sooner and younger players are when they get there the better. That's what many agents are selling, and it is factual in most cases.
quote:
This is the new economic model of the post-lockout NFL, which features a CBA contract that encourages players to get to their second deal.
quote:
The time for most of the NCAA's rising stars to depart early is coming because the NFL and its pay-for-play approach is calling.

All this talk of getting a second contract early and the majority of those guys will not get a second contract.
It's basically one shot to earn some cash.

I thought the whole argument was there's now no incentive to stay and improve your draft status because of the caps put on the first few rounds? Not that the lower round picks now make any less.
Not real clear what you were pointing out here or what it was in reference to honestly, so maybe agreeing ?

It's the difference between early and late round money. Pre-CBA it paid big time to stay and move up. Now it isn't worth it.
What part of this can't you guys understand?

Most of these kids come from poor backgrounds and 100K signing bonus is quite a bit of money for someone who has never had much. Just sayin.

Its getting the second contract and the fact some of these guys will never go in the first 3 rounds. No matter how ling they stay in school.

quote:SFP, the RoT used to be "Stay in school" until you gain 1st round status or are done with eligibility. That was because 1st rounder got big bucks. That era is over. Disincentivizes players staying in school as long as they can make an NFL roster.

It is time the NCAA allow players to enter the draft and decide to come back if they don't like the result.
With no agent of course.

You should compare the first 3 rounds. There was incentive to stay pre-CBA because there was a chance to raise your draft stock to get into the "big money" rounds (1-3). Now the big money isn't nearly as big so the incentive to stay another year and risk injury have diminished significantly.
