re: La'el Collins reportedly signing with Cowboys

People familiar with NFL salary rules: Is there a max value that an undrafted free agent can earn? Do they have a max cap value like the drafted players?

If not, Collins could actually be well served to avoid getting drafted. It'll give him some time to prove his innocence and come out of this as a 1st round talent with no team and a wide open bidding war for his services. He'd probably still lose out on some money had he gone where he was originally slotted, but this might be a good way to avoid getting a low round max contract offer.
