How much money can Tory earn as an UDFA? Will he be able to pay his rent and car note?

I mean unless he’s leasing a Maserati and living in a 5 bedroom house in the metro area, he should be fine

He’ll get a chance to negotiate higher guarantees and signing bonus money when he signs. Some players can get a signing bonus upwards of 80-100k, but given he’s a fullback I doubt he gets much of either of those. Likely just a small signing bonus (1k-15k is normal)

If he makes the practice squad, he would make 8k per week he’s on the active practice squad.

If he were to make an active roster, he’d be getting paid based atleast the league minimum of 610k. Which he would earn weekly with “game checks” based on him being on the roster and being active

ETA in summary, he can make a pretty nice salary this year if things go right, but he’s going to have to earn every cent
