Rookie Signings

NFL Training Camps are upon us. A few teams kicked off their their camps on Wednesday, more are doing so this weekend, all players will be reporting by next Saturday. There's still some time but there's a chance that a few rookies might start their NFL careers on the outside of their first training camps. The 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement took nearly all of the aggravation out of rookie contract negotiations. The terms are now basically scripted so there isn't much negotiating to do. The process is such a breeze that some teams have their entire rookie class signed before the draft is even a couple weeks old. The month before the draft really can be a vacation for the football people around the league.Occasionally there's a problem rookie signing. Defensive tackle Joey Bosa had a notable rookie contract squabble with the San Diego Chargers last year. There are a few more problem rookie signings this year.

The Chicago Bears signed quarterback Mitchell Trubisky on Wednesday. The second pick in the 2017 NFL Draft signed his rookie contract exactly one month after the first pick signed his. Was it the preferential treatment often handed to quarterbacks that brought about the extra month of contract talks.

What's up with the rookie contract strategy of the Oakland Raiders? Not only is first round corner Gareon Conley still unsigned so is second round safety Obi Meliforwu. The Raiders new-look secondary might not look so new right away.

This signing tracker looks more pre-2011 than any draft since. Actually five unsigned rookies is nothing like pre-2011 but it's also little like post-2011.
