NFL training camps are opening. Most of the rookies will have reported to their first training camp by the end of this weekend. If they’ve signed their first contract. The 2011 CBA stream-lined the rookie signing process. The contract dollars are determined by where the player was drafted. Easy. Agents still try to work the edges of those parameters. They have to do something to earn their percentage. The teams made quick work of signing first round picks. All 32 have been signed for about a month. It’s many of the players selected in the second and fourth rounds that have been the last to sign. Second round picks are often troublesome. Time is running out on the rookies if they want to avoid being saddled with the “holdout” label. Here’s a glimpse at the signing status of all 262 players selected in the 2022 NFL Draft.

There are only ten unsigned draft picks. The troubling part is that two of those ten picks are picks of the Minnesota Vikings. They made fairly quick work of getting their other eight draft picks signed. Their two second round picks have remained unsigned. The Vikings welcome their rookies to their first NFL training camp tomorrow. They have until then to get Andrew Booth Jr. and Ed Ingram signed. Holdouts are annoying.
