The NFL rookie salary is $750,000. That's real good if you make the team.
A $250,000, a flyer on on a FA that you were considering drafting makes sense. Looks like there were 2 of them.
AJ Green received a bonus a couple of years ago. That turned out good.
This is most likely the reason we traded the 7th round pick. There was a gamble that UDFA's would be available.
Think through it, it is a good strategy.
I agree.
I don't know if there are any stipulations that might void the guarantee, but the guarantee basically means the guy will make the team unless he simply decides that $250,000 is a good enough lottery win.
I know Diabate got one. He should be a lock to be a key special team member at minimum. I can't recall the other, I think a safety, another who should be a key special teamer at minimum.
