and still has college eligibility, maybe we can look for a safety there and match or beat his rookie contract and his incentive would be to play his arse off and get re-drafted in the 1st round for a $30 mil contract?

2nd and 3rd round picks make more than $4 million. The last pick in the draft will get more than $4 million.

I don't know if you are right. But that doesn't sound right to me. I didn't even think the last pick in the draft usually made a team.

I really hope you do manual labor and have someone telling you exactly what to do. For your safety and the safety of others.

NO WAY IN HELL the last pick of the draft has a signing bonus of $4 million+. And he sure ain't getting a guaranteed contract for that much.

4 year 3.7mil contract.

Mr. Irrelevant 2024 signed for $80,000 and got a 4 year deal worth $4.1 million with the Jets.

What world am I living in????

You posted that the last pick of the draft gets more than $4 million. If it's not in guaranteed salary, than it has to be in signing bonus, WHICH IT ISN'T.

Just googled it myself, and I stand corrected. $4.1 million for 4 years to the last pick in the draft. That's crazy money for that spot.

I guess I'm not living on planet earth.

The only difference might be that the school could guarantee that money if the player stayed 4 years. Hardly any contracts are guaranteed in the NFL.

What? Just because it’s not a fully guaranteed contract doesn’t means it’s a signing bonus… it’s just a salary.

This post is about players who are projected 2nd/3rd round picks. How are you going to guarantee a 4 year contract to a guy that is draft eligible?

You're right. A mid round pick (and higher) according to the scale the NFL pays on would have to be huge money in NIL.

I wasn't aware how high the salaries were for lower round picks until I googled it a few minutes ago. My assumption was that the last pick signed for maybe $600k a year, with almost none of that guaranteed. Obviously those mid round picks get considerably more.

I do know that I've read multiple times that there are only a handful of fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL. Deshaun Watson is one. Almost all players get their guaranteed cash in the signing bonus.
