[QUOTE="BillSU, post: 3850493, member: 6809"]
I disagree with  Nate Mink on the *salary that Andre and Ifeatu are going to paid for the next four years and their bonuses. *Unless the salary and bonus for Andre was adjusted. Nate would have to chime in on that.

I asked Google what the average salary and signing bonus is for a third round pick and I got not only that but salaries and signing bonuses for every round. Quite revealing and interesting. These are the basic contract values and bonuses for all

For comparison I took the first five picks in the first round so you will be able to see the difference about getting drafted in the first round and third round and included all rounds. You can see the obvious difference between round 1 and the rest and I never knew there was a range in contract total value and bonuses but there is. I bolded Andre and Iffy's shares.

“The rookie wage scale was previously put in place to avoid the top picks in [URL='https://heavy.com/tag/nfl-draft/']the NFL draft[/URL] from essentially making more money than some multi-year starters were. Obviously, there are still kinks that need to be worked out, but at the very least, a set salary is now in place for how much players who are selected in the draft are paid.

This all stems from the 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement which set up a value for every pick in the draft from No. 1 to the final overall selection. This includes the total value of each player’s contract, their signing bonus and also the cap hit which the team absorbs. Beyond that, all deals are over four years, but first-round picks have a fifth-year option available to teams.

We’re going to take a look at the latest scale for each round of the draft. It’s worth noting that the rookie wage scale could change in the upcoming seasons, but nothing has been set in stone on that. For round one, it will be broken down by every single pick, but from that point, the contract sizes all get much closer. In turn, we’ll then evaluate the ranges for picks in each of the other rounds.”
