Packers Give T Zach Tom Four-Year Extension
The Packers are signing right tackle Zach Tom to a four-year, $88MM extension, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
The Packers had been working on Tom’s extension throughout the offseason, and with training camp starting this week, the team managed to get it across the finish line. The 26-year-old tackle is now under contract through 2029 and will continue to be a key part of Green Bay’s offensive line. Originally a fourth-round pick out of Wake Forest in 2022, Tom played every position except center as a rookie before settling in at right tackle for the last two years.
Tom’s deal has a maximum value of $92MM, per Pelissero, which includes a $30.2MM signing bonus, the biggest for any offensive lineman in league history. The previous record holder was David Bakhtiari, another Packers offensive tackle.
That’s no coincidence: Green Bay typically does not guarantee any money outside of the signing bonus, so they regularly hand out large signing bonuses (and roster bonuses that vest early in the offseason) to address players’ cash flow and guarantee concerns. That makes it likely, though not certain, that Tom’s guarantees top out at $30.2MM as well, which would trail the rest of the OT market.
However, the overall value of Tom’s deal reflects his ascension from versatile fourth-rounder to one of the league’s best right tackles. His $22MM APY is the fourth highest among right tackles and tied with Jordan Mailata for 10th among all offensive lineman, fitting for a player who graded out as Pro Football Focus’ sixth-best tackle in 2024 (subscription required).
Tom’s extension will likely put pressure on the Packers to address Elgton Jenkins‘ contract. The 2019 second-round pick entered the league as a left guard, where he has played a vast majority of his snaps, with multiple starts at center and both tackle spots. He is expected to move to center – a lesser-paid position – this offseason, so he has requested an adjustment to the extension he signed in 2022. That deal runs through 2026, when Jenkins has a $24.8MM cap hit that the Packers might find untenable for a center, especially with no remaining guaranteed money. (In 2025, the highest cap hit for a center is Lloyd Cushenberry at $14.255MM, per OverTheCap.)
Green Bay’s precedent will make it very difficult for Jenkins to add guaranteed money to his deal, so he may have to pursue an outright extension. That route will be complicated by the pending free agency of left tackle Rasheed Walker, a late seventh-round pick in 2022 who took over for an injured Bakhtiari in 2023 and never looked back. With significant capital already invested in both guard spots – a $77MM contract for Aaron Banks and a first-round pick on 2024 draftee Jordan Morgan – Jenkins might be the odd man out if the Packers ultimately prioritize Jordan Love‘s blind side over his snapper.
No matter how Jenkins’ contract situation shakes out, Love will be able to count on Tom to protect his strong side for the foreseeable future.
RB Nyheim Hines To Make NFL Return With Chargers
Veteran running back Nyheim Hines is returning to the NFL with the Chargers, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Hines has not played since the 2022 season after tearing his ACL in a freak jet skiing accident in July 2023. He signed with the Browns last offseason and practiced for three weeks in October before being shut down for the year. Now, he will finally get back on the field in Los Angeles.
“It’s been a long road back,” said Hines (via The Exhibit’s Josina Anderson). “I’ve watched [the Chargers] my whole life because of Philip Rivers, and always have liked the team. I also think I’ve fit their system for years, so I’m excited for this opportunity.”
Originally a 2018 fourth-round pick by the Colts, Hines immediately carved out a third-down role as a rookie and became one of the most consistent receiving backs in the league, logging at least 40 receptions and 300 receiving yards in each of his first four season. He signed a three-year, $18.6MM extension with the Colts in 2021 before being dealt to the Bills at the 2022 trade deadline. Hines did not have much of an impact in Buffalo, and his offseason injury has kept him on the sidelines since.
Now, Hines will join a young Chargers running back room as its oldest player. Veteran free agent signing Najee Harris is set to lead the group – once he recovers from a freak injury of his own – and the team hopes first-round pick Omarion Hampton can be an effective change-of-pace back and build on his impressive 2024 season as a ballcarrier and pass-catcher.
However, Harris’ receiving numbers in Pittsburgh were inflated by constant checkdowns by a rotating cadre of Steelers’ quarterbacks, and Jim Harbaugh may not trust a rookie to protect Justin Herbert on third downs. In addition to his desire to contribute as a returner, Hines could have a path to a role in Los Angeles as a pass-catching back who, in his career, has more targets (309) than carries (306) and more yards through the air (1,778) than on the ground (1,202).
First, he will have to prove that he is all the way back from his knee injury. Hines was healthy enough in May to work out for the Texans, and his signing in Los Angeles indicates that his medical passed muster.
Minor NFL Transactions: 7/21/25
Training camps are underway around the league, bringing more and more roster adjustments every day. Here are the latest minor moves:
Carolina Panthers
- Placed on active/PUP list: WR Dan Chisena, TE Tommy Tremble
- Placed on active/NFI list: P Sam Martin
Dallas Cowboys
- Placed on active/PUP list: CB Josh Butler, CB Trevon Diggs, LB DeMarvion Overshown
- Placed on active/NFI list: CB Shavon Revel
Green Bay Packers
- Signed: WR Will Sheppard
- Released: K Alex Hale
Kansas City Chiefs
- Signed: WR Hal Presley
- Placed on active/PUP list: CB Kristian Fulton, OT Jawaan Taylor, TE Tre Watson
Los Angeles Rams
- Signed: QB Dresser Winn
Minnesota Vikings
- Placed on active/PUP: TE Gavin Bartholomew, LB Chaz Chambliss
Seattle Seahawks
- Signed: CB Kam Alexander, DT Justin Rogers
- Waived/NFI: CB Zy Alexander
Martin, a 12-year veteran who signed with the Panthers this offseason, is dealing with a minor hamstring injury, per Joe Person of The Athletic.
The Cowboys’ trio of cornerbacks were all expected to be placed on their respective lists given where they are in the rehab process, according to ESPN’s Todd Archer. The same is true of Overshown, who recently shared a positive update on social media (via Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk).
An eye injury will sideline Hale for several weeks, per Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, forcing the Packers to release him. Hale was not expected to push Brandon McManus for the starting job in Green Bay, but the team will need another kicker for training camp.
The Seahawks swapped undrafted cornerbacks, adding Alexander out of Oregon and waiving Alexander with a non-football injury designation. Rogers, meanwhile, was signed after a successful tryout.
Titans Complete Draft Pick Signings With Second-Round OLB Oluwafemi Oladejo
The Titans have reached an agreement with second-round pick Oluwafemi Oladejo, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, completing their 2025 draft class signings.
Oladejo’s deal is worth $8.415MM over four years, the first three of which are fully guaranteed along with a $2.76MM signing bonus. That represents a massive jump from last year’s No. 52 pick, Adonai Mitchell, who only received guarantees on 47.7% (700k) of his Year 3 salary, per OverTheCap. Oladejo received 52.3% more guaranteed salary in Year 3, which will push him well above Mitchell’s overall guarantees worth 65% of his rookie deal.
Though Oladejo’s contract is significantly stronger than past players in the same draft slot, it is somewhat weak compared to the rest of the 2025 second-round pick market. 85% of No. 54 pick Anthony Belton‘s Year 3 salary was fully guaranteed by the Packers, per OverTheCap; a few days later, No. 53 pick Benjamin Morrison reached 96% on his Year 3 guarantees in his deal with the Buccaneers. Initial reports of Oladejo’s contract did not mention any guarantees past the third year, so a mere 4% increase over Morrison in Year 3 guarantees seems disappointing after Morrison received 11% more than Belton in the same category.
Regardless, Oladejo’s rookie contract completes an impressive year for the 21-year-old. After spending his first three college seasons – two at Cal and one at UCLA – as an off-ball linebacker, he moved to the edge in 2024 and finished the season with 4.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss. Oladejo surged up big boards throughout the draft process and was consistently pegged as a Day 2 pick before the draft. He will now have an opportunity to compete for a starting role in a Titans defense that lost Harold Landry this offseason and did little to replace him in free agency. Seven-year veteran Arden Key will likely be one of Tennessee’s starting edge defenders, and Oladejo should push Lorenzo Carter to be the other.
Oladejo was the final Titans draft pick to sign his rookie deal;
- Round 1, No. 1: Cam Ward (QB, Miami) (signed)
- Round 2, No. 52 (from Steelers through Seahawks): Oluafemi Oladejo (OLB, UCLA) (signed)
- Round 3: No. 82 (from Seahawks): Kevin Winston (S, Penn State) (signed)
- Round 4, No. 103: Chimere Dike (WR, Florida) (signed)
- Round 4, No. 120 (from Seahawks): Gunnar Helm (TE, Texas) (signed)
- Round 5, No. 136 (from Ravens)*: Elic Ayomanor (WR, Stanford) (signed)
- Round 5, No. 167 (from Chiefs): Jackson Slater (G, Sacramento State) (signed)
- Round 6, No. 183 (from Panthers through Ravens): Marcus Harris (CB, Cal) (signed)
- Round 6, No. 188 (from Cowboys): Kalel Mullings (RB, Michigan) (signed)
J.C. Tretter, Don Davis Are Frontrunners For Interim NFLPA Exec. Director
July 20: Many training camps around the league open on Tuesday, and the NFLPA is expected to vote on an interim executive director by then, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
July 19: The NFLPA is continuing to navigate the fallout of a series of revelations about executive director Lloyd Howell and his subsequent resignation.
The union’s 32 player representatives met on Friday night to discuss the next steps regarding Howell’s now-vacant position. Two current NFLPA leaders emerged as frontrunners, according to The Athletic’s Diana Russini: Chief Strategy Officer J.C. Tretter and Chief Player Officer Don Davis. Also gaining some support among players is retiring NFLPA general counsel Tom DePaso, per Mark Maske of The Washington Post.
Tretter and Davis are both former players, which will help them gain credibility among the union’s active membership. Tretter lined up at center for the Packers and the Browns across eight NFL seasons, while Davis played linebacker for four teams across 11 years and earned two back-to-back Super Bowl rings with the Patriots in 2003 and 2004.
Tretter also has experience leading the union after serving as NFLPA president for two terms. He was elected in March 2020 and helped close out collective bargaining negotiations with the league. One month later, the NFL was facing an uncertain future due to the coronavirus pandemic. Tretter became the co-chair of the NFLPA’s COVID committee and helped the union navigate the 2020 season. It was widely considered a success with a full 256-game schedule and minimal, contained outbreaks. Tretter then won re-election in 2022, but his second term could be a vulnerability due to his involvement with several major issues facing the union. Two of those issues – hiring Howell in 2023 and suppressing two arbitration rulings – were part of Tretter’s effort to ascend to the top of the union’s leadership structure, according to Pablo Torre of Pablo Finds Out.
The 34-year-old currently has a “majority of support,” per Russini, but there is a growing movement among players to move on from Tretter’s leadership along with Howell. Some are even exploring legal action against the NFLPA and Tretter specifically, “citing potential violations around inclusion, labor rights, and misuse of union funds,” according to Russini. A text criticizing Tretter’s leadership circulated between players during last night’s meeting, per Ben Volin of the Boston Globe.
Davis, who has overseen player affairs at the NFLPA for more than a decade, is Tretter’s main competition for the interim executive director role. He is considered the “No. 1 internal candidate,” per CBS Sports Jonathan Jones, and is already receiving support from players, according to both Russini and Maske. (Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has already expressed his support for Davis on social media.)
After he retired from playing in 2006, Davis joined the Patriots’ strength and conditioning staff and later became the team chaplain. He joined the NFLPA as director of player affairs in 2010, according to his LinkedIn, and was promoted to senior director in 2015 and Chief Player Officer this past April. Davis could also be a candidate for the permanent executive director job, per Jones.
DePaso, the union’s retiring general counsel who briefly played for the Bengals, is another name that has been mentioned by players as a candidate. There is also precedent for the union’s general counsel to serve as interim executive director. The last time the NFLPA needed an interim executive director was 2008, when Gene Upshaw died in office. Then-general counsel Richard Berthelsen served as Upshaw’s interim replacement until DeMaurice Smith was hired, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk.
Howell was just hired in 2023 and past executive directors have typically served more than a decade, so the union was not prepared to start another search process right away. Finalists in the last process are unlikely to re-emerge, according to Jones, as players will be seeking a leader they can trust. The union will be looking for experience, either within the NFL as a player or with labor management more generally. The NFLPA currently has no timetable for selecting a permanent executive director, per Russini, and whoever is tapped as the interim is not expected to be promoted to the full-time role.
It’s also worth noting that many players are not fully up to date on the multitude of issues now facing the NFLPA. Much of last night’s meeting was about answering questions and clarifying information, according to Russini. Awareness will continue to spread around the league, especially as teams reunite for training camp. The union’s next priority will be selecting an interim leader before kicking off what will likely be a revamped, more thorough search process for a permanent executive director.
Bengals, Second-Round LB Demetrius Knight Agree To Rookie Deal
1:04pm: Knight’s signing bonus includes the same upfront payout percentage as past Bengals second-rounders, according to Conway, indicating that the team was holding out on his payment schedule in addition to the disputed default/void language.
Stewart appears to be fighting the same terms from Cincinnati, but it is unclear if he would be willing to make the same deal as Knight.
11:04am: The Bengals have reached an agreement with second-round pick Demetrius Knight on a four-year rookie contract, according to FOX Sports’ Jordan Schultz.
The deal comes on the day that the team’s rookies are due to report to Cincinnati for training camp. Knight is expected to compete with fourth-round rookie Barrett Carter and veteran Oren Burks for the right to start at linebacker alongside Logan Wilson.
Almost 80% of Knight’s deal is fully guaranteed, and he is also the first No. 49 pick in league history to receive guaranteed salary in Year 4. For context, Kris Jenkins, the No. 49 pick in 2024 (coincidentally, also by the Bengals), had less than 70% of his rookie contract fully guaranteed, per Spotrac.
Every member of Cincinnati’s 2025 draft class is now under contract except for first-round pick Shemar Stewart, who did not participate in spring practices and remains a holdout over default and void language in his contract.
Knight was opposed to the same default and void language as Stewart, but accepted it in his final contract in exchange for receiving 75% of his signing bonus at signing, according to Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Despite the name, signing bonuses do not automatically pay out in full when a player puts pen to paper. Instead, payment schedules are a term to be negotiated along with the rest of the contract. Rather than remove or change the language Knight objected to, the Bengals simply offered him an improvement elsewhere in the deal (which they could have done all along).
The team has not made same offer to Stewart, per Conway, but since it resolved the impasse with Knight, it is probably worth a try. As of now, however, the Bengals’ negotiations with Stewart have made “no progress,” according to Schultz, and the former Texas A&M standout remains the only first-rounder leaguewide who has yet to sign his rookie deal.
Here’s a look at the rest of the Bengals’ 2025 draft class:
- Round 1, No. 17: Shemar Stewart (DE, Texas A&M)
- Round 2, No. 49: Demetrius Knight (LB, South Carolina) (signed)
- Round 3, No. 81: Dylan Fairchild (G, Georgia) (signed)
- Round 4, No. 119: Barrett Carter (LB, Clemson) (signed)
- Round 5, No. 153: Jalen Rivers (T, Miami) (signed)
- Round 6, No. 193: Tahj Brooks (RB, Texas Tech) (signed)
Rams Sign Second-Round TE Terrance Ferguson, Complete Draft Pick Signings
The Rams are signing No. 46 pick Terrance Ferguson to a four-year, $9.71MM rookie contract, according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
Like virtually every 2025 second-rounder, the rookie tight end will set a record for guaranteed money for his draft slot. 82.8% of his contract (just under $8.05MM) is fully guaranteed, per Fowler; in 2024, No. 46 Jonathon Brooks signed a deal that was 74.1% fully guaranteed (via Spotrac).
Ferguson’s signing comes on the heels of the Colts’ agreement with No. 45 pick J.T. Tuimoloau, who reached 88.02% in total guarantees. If that number also reflects Tuimoloau’s fully guaranteed allotment, the gap between him and Ferguson would be significantly larger than the one between Ferguson and No. 49 pick Demetrius Knight, signed earlier today with nearly 80% of his deal fully guaranteed.
With both Ferguson and Knight putting pen to paper, deals should quickly fall into place for the players drafted between them: Cardinals No. 47 pick Will Johnson and Texans No. 48 pick Aireontae Ersery.
Ferguson, meanwhile, is all set to report for Rams training camp this week as the team’s highest selection in this year’s draft. He will push veteran tight end Tyler Higbee for the starting job and is considered the 31-year-old’s long-term replacement.
The Rams have now signed all six of their 2025 draft picks:
- Round 2, No. 46 (from Falcons): Terrance Ferguson (TE, Oregon) (signed)
- Round 3, No. 90: Josaiah Stewart (OLB, Michigan) (signed)
- Round 4, No. 117 (from Colts): Jarquez Hunter (RB, Arizona) (signed)
- Round 5, No. 148 (from Bears): Ty Hamilton (DT, Ohio State) (signed)
- Round 5, No. 172 (from Seahawks through Vikings): Chris Paul Jr. (LB, Ole Miss) (signed)
- Round 7, No. 242 (reacquired from Falcons): Konata Mumpfield (WR, Pitt) (signed)
NFLPA Board Of Player Reps To Meet After Latest Lloyd Howell Revelations
The NFLPA’s board of player representatives is meeting tonight after the resignation of executive director Lloyd Howell amid multiple controversies, according to Mark Maske of The Washington Post.
All 32 teams have one player representative and three alternates who are selected by their teammates every other year. They are likely to be joined by the NFLPA’s player-led executive committee as well as other union executives.
Howell has come under scrutiny in recent weeks due to his handling of the union’s collusion grievance against the NFL, a potential conflict of interest from his consultant gig at a private equity firm, and a revelations about sexual discrimination and retaliation lawsuit during his time at Booz Allen Hamilton.
Howell’s resignation was also triggered by questions about his use of union funds, according to ESPN’s Don Van Natta Jr. and Kalyn Kahler. An outside investigator reportedly found that Howell submitted expense reports for transportation and cash withdrawals at strip clubs, including $2,426 in charges during this year’s NFLPA summit in Atlanta in February, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Howell was accompanied by two union employees and submitted the outing as a “Player Engagement Event to support & grow our Union.”
Howell faced similar accusations of misused company funds while working for Booz Allen in 2015, per Van Natta and Kahler.. A colleague submitted an expense report for a strip club visit – while he was still a defendant in the aforementioned lawsuit, which was later settled.
The FBI has also been investigating the NFLPA (as well as the MLBPA) due to their dealings with OneTeam Partners, a multibillion-dollar group-licensing firm, as originally reported by Van Natta and his ESPN colleague, Jeff Passan. That led to an ongoing internal union investigation into Howell’s leadership, led by attorney Ronald C. Machen of Wilmer Hale, according to Van Natta and Kahler.
Bears Sign No. 39 Pick Luther Burden To Fully Guaranteed Rookie Contract
No. 39 pick Luther Burden is signing a 100% fully guaranteed rookie contract with the Bears, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, becoming the latest pick in the history of the draft to do so.
News of Burden’s deal came two hours after No. 37 pick Jonah Savaiinaea received a fully guaranteed contract from the Dolphins, continuing a cascade of second-round pick signings as teams being to gather for training camp. Burden, once a projected first-round pick, will still secure a fully guaranteed rookie deal after falling into the second round.
Burden was an interesting case study during his time in Columbia. As a five-star freshman with the Tigers, coming in as the top-ranked receiver in the Class of 2022, Burden started 10 games but only amassed 375 yards. Still, he showed flashes in Year 1 with a 78-yard punt return for a touchdown and even a one-year rushing score, but the fact that he had more drops (7) than touchdowns (6) was an early sign of the volatility one could expect from him.
His sophomore season put him on the map for scouts everywhere. A second-team All-American season showed Burden break onto the scene with 86 catches for 1,212 yards and nine touchdowns, while reducing his drops to only four despite seeing twice the targets. Scouts were licking their chops for his 2024 film, but Burden rewarded them only with a bit of regression, giving them 61 receptions for 676 yards and six touchdowns. He did continue to display his electric, play-making abilities, though, with two more rushing touchdowns, including one for 61 yards.
Because of his quickness, Burden functions primarily as a slot receiver, and at 6-foot, 206 pounds, he’s an imposing slot. Mizzou almost exclusively worked to get the ball in his hands within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage. His 10 catches of 20 yards or more last year ranked 110th for receivers in the NFL. A big reason for that was his struggles with route-running. With footwork and an upright running style making separation hard to come by downfield, the Tigers relied on his quickness to get him the ball closer to the line of scrimmage.
That is where Burden shined. Burden was a yards after catch machine in college. Impressive foot speed, body control, and change of direction made him a menace with the ball in his hands, which is why Missouri fed him day and night to the tune of 192 career receptions — good for fourth all-time in school history — in only three years. Those same skills make him a dangerous gadget rusher and return man, as well, though he had issues with ball security during his time at Mizzou.
With D.J. Moore and Rome Odunze catching passes on the outside from Caleb Williams, Chicago had quite a few players vying for snaps in the slot like Olamide Zaccheaus, Devin Duvernay, and Tyler Scott. Drafting Burden potentially saves them the position battle. Though he’ll still have to earn the job, Burden’s pedigree and big-play ability should make him a favorite to be on the field in three-receiver sets with Moore and Odunze.
All eyes will now turn to No. 40 pick Tyler Shough. His holdout for a fully guaranteed deal as the Saints’ projected starting quarterback is one of the main reasons that so many second-rounders remained unsigned by their rookie reporting dates. Now that every pick ahead of Shough has signed a fully guaranteed deal – except for Browns rookie Quinshon Judkins, who is facing a misdemeanor battery charge in Florida – the 25-year-old quarterback should be able to extract similar terms from the Saints.
The Bears’ rookie class is due to report on Friday, and after reaching an agreement with the team on a four-year, $10.965MM contract, Burden will be among them. The former Missouri standout will now compete with a deep group of pass-catchers for targets in Ben Johnson‘s new-look offense. Here’s a final look at Chicago’s eight-man rookie class:
- Round 1, No. 10: Colston Loveland (TE, Michigan) (signed)
- Round 2, No. 39 (from Panthers): Luther Burden (WR, Missouri) (signed)
- Round 2, No. 56 (from Vikings through Texans and Bills): Ozzy Trapilo (T, Boston College) (signed)
- Round 2, No. 62: Shemar Turner (DT, Texas A&M) (signed)
- Round 4, No. 132 (from Bills): Ruban Hyppolite (LB, Maryland) (signed)
- Round 5, No. 169 (from Bills)*: Zah Frazier (CB, Texas-San Antonio) (signed)
- Round 6, No. 195 (from Steelers through Rams): Luke Newman (G, Michigan State) (signed)
- Round 7, No. 233 (from Bengals): Kyle Monangai (RB, Rutgers) (signed)

Dolphins Sign Second-Round OL Jonah Savaiinaea To Fully Guaranteed Rookie Deal
The Dolphins have agreed to terms on a 100% fully guaranteed rookie contract with second-round offensive lineman Jonah Savaiinaea, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
The deal makes Savaiinaea the first No. 37 pick and the fifth second-round pick to receive a fully guaranteed contract in league history. He received significant increases over the guarantees of 2024 No. 37 pick Ja’Lynn Polk, who had 30% of his Year 4 salary and 84.7% of his total deal guaranteed, per OverTheCap. Savaiinaea received 15.3% more guaranteed money overall with a massive 70% increase in Year 4 guaranteed salary.
Savaiinaea did not report with the rest of the Miami’s rookie class on July 15 as one of several second-round picks holding out for fully guarantee rookie contracts after the Texans set new precedent with No. 34 pick Jayden Higgins. No. 35 pick Nick Emmanwori signed a fully guaranteed deal with the Seahawks on Thursday, giving Savaiinaea leverage to demand similar terms. Savaiinaea is also projected to replace Liam Eichenberg as the Dolphins’ starting right guard after they traded up for him in April’s draft, so it was important to get him on the field to build chemistry with his new teammates.
By giving in to Savaiinaea’s demands, the Dolphins will continue the domino effect of second-round pick signings. No. 39 pick Luther Burden signed a fully guaranteed contract with the Bears shortly after Savaiinaea put pen to paper, which should lock No. 38 pick TreVeyon Henderson into a similar deal with the Patriots. Saints rookie quarterback and No. 40 pick Tyler Shough should also be able to secure the fully guaranteed deal that he has been pursuing.
Normally, Savaiinaea’s signing would also ensure that the pick before him gets a fully guaranteed deal. However, No. 36 pick Quinshon Judkins remains unsigned as he faces a charge of misdemeanor battery after a domestic incident in Florida. The Browns are in no rush to sign him to his rookie deal, per Cleveland.com’s Mary Kay Cabot, as the team wants their second-round pick’s focus to remain on his legal issues.
Savaiinaea’s signing completes the Dolphins’ eight-man draft class before training camp kicks off next week.
- Round 1, No. 13: Kenneth Grant (DT, Michigan) (signed)
- Round 2, No. 37 (from Raiders): Jonah Savaiinaea (G, Arizona) (signed)
- Round 5, No. 143 (from Raiders): Jordan Phillips (DT, Maryland) (signed)
- Round 5: No. 150: Jason Marshall (CB, Florida) (signed)
- Round 5, No. 155 (from Broncos): Dante Trader (S, Maryland) (signed)
- Round 6, No. 179 (from Browns through Texans): Ollie Gordon (RB, Oklahoma State) (signed)
- Round 7, No. 231: Quinn Ewers (QB, Texas) (signed)
- Round 7, No. 253*: Zeek Biggers (DT, Georgia Tech) (signed)
