20% Of Draft Picks Remain Unsigned

Roughly 20% of this year’s draft picks have yet to sign their rookie contracts, as shown in PFR’s tracker. So far, 213 of this year’s 256 selections have inked their deals.

Here’s the complete breakdown, sorted by round:

First Round (17)

Second Round (5)

Third Round (10)

Fourth Round (2)

  • Rams, 4-111: Brian Allen, C (Michigan State)
  • Rams, 4-135: John Franklin-Myers, DE (Stephen F. Austin)

Fifth Round (3)

Sixth Round (4)

Seventh Round (2)

As expected, the first round (17) and third round (10) lead the way in stragglers. First round picks tend to have the most leverage, which means that agents will often haggle on issues such as offset language. The third round negotiations also tend to drag since there is wiggle room when it comes to base salaries.
