UDFAs compensation

[_sturt_]

Seems good to have a thread exclusively devoted to amassing what compensation intel gets leaked or announced... gives insight into which ones the team gave highest priority to signing.

What's known so far as I can tell...

Markquese Bell: $200k salary + $15k signing bonus (Source: An "Unspoken DFW Newspaper")

Storey Jackson: $60k salary + $5k signing bonus (Source: Pro Football Network)

Are not those salaries below league minimum?
Is that what part of their salaries is guaranteed?

Yeah, I thought league minimal was $250k.

A good chance they end up on the practice squad at least.

You have to make the NFL roster to have an NFL minimum salary.

Yep, missing some key info there

Thanks, maybe a partially guaranteed salary is my guess.

You don't make the team you don't get crap. That sucks.

But they get free meals and medical until roster cut down time.
Plus whatever the per diem is for TC, or they get some type of compensation. I think all players get some base amount.
But yeah, if cut, all they get is to keep the signing bonus and the free hats and t-shirts.

Just read in all, there were 56 undrafted free agents this year who received signing bonus payments of at least $10,000, & 15 of them earned $15,000 or more in upfront money.

The figures are gleaned from an NFL Players Association survey of undrafted free agents.

This is why these guys around the 6th and 7th would rather go Undrafted lol

Farniok got $102K sb as a 7th round pick. Bell (200K) and the centers (100K) did manage to get guaranteed money in that range or more but most udfa's don't get that kind of money.

I was anticipating... still am.. that Juanyeh Thomas would be the UDFA receiving the largest financial commitment... fwiw.
