Second Round Signing Tracker

Draft pick-signing attention is usually reserved for the players selected in the first round. Other than the Cincinnati Bengals and Shemar Stewart, that work was completed last week. This year, the second round is the round with the drama. Thanks mostly to the Cleveland Browns and the Houston Texans giving fully guaranteed contracts to Carson Schwesinger and Jayden Higgins, respectively, the second-round signing progress has been stalled for more than a month. Training camps opening across the league has jump-started those signings in recent days. So, here’s a look at the signing status of the players selected in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft.

A week ago, only two second-round picks had signed their first NFL contracts. First-round picks had been getting fully guaranteed deals for years. Agents for the second-round picks have been haggling for the same deal. The Cleveland Browns and Houston Texans caved to those demands with Carson Schwesinger and Jayden Higgins, respectively. That started the months-long standoff with every other second-round pick. Training camp is a natural deadline for rookie deals. As camps approached teams started offering and agents started accepting a significant percentage of the contracts guaranteed. Now, only four second-round picks remain unsigned.
