Have been incapacitated the past few days to look and didn't see the thread if it was started, so sorry if Germans. Is there a list of any tigers that got picked up as URFA?

What's the difference between free agent and a 7th rounder?

Um drafted players no matter what round get more of a chance to play. They get longer time on contracts to prove themselves in most cases. I'm sure there are different circumstances. Most UDFA end up on the practice squad, or playing arena football

If youre drafted team own your rights, if you go undrafted you can choose where you go.

This. Plus about $50,000 in signing bonuses, on average.

This is not true. Neither UFA's or 7th rounders get any guarantee beyond their signing bonus and a spot in training camp.

So do most 7th round picks.

Correct. Loston probably lost out on draft status due to concussions.

Another that didn't finish his career as a Tiger, but former LSU TE Nic Jacobs signed with the Saints.
