With the 2024 NFL Draft in the rearview mirror and OTAs underway, it’s time for the newest members of the NFL family to get paid. All 257 draft picks and their agents have turned their attention to their respective front offices and aim to sign their first NFL contracts.
Thanks to the CBA, rookie contracts are more tied to the player’s slotted draft position, and there isn’t too much to be negotiated. But, there are still talks that need to take place before pen is put to paper. Each contract comes with a fully-guaranteed fifth-year team option, and the value of that fifth-year option will vary based on position, playing time and Pro Bowl selections.
Former Clemson cornerback and newest Raven Nate Wiggins was the first first-rounder to sign his rookie deal, but plenty have followed. The most recent to sign is Patriots No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye, per NFL Media. Below, we will break down the details of every first-round pick’s rookie deal once they are reported.
