For reference, last year the 50th player drafted signed for $4 million over 5 years and the last person drafted at 253rd signed for $2.1 million over 5 years. So the difference between a middle 2nd round guy and a 7th round guy is $380K a year for 5 years. After taxes, that is about $228K a year. Seems to me like most of these guys are getting good advice. The risk of injury is no longer worth the reward of moving up even from the 7th round to the 2nd round.





Is there an article or link to this? I find this very interesting.


This presumes that one makes the league. After a signing bonus, don't these guys make $0 if they get cut?
