First Round Signing Tracker

It's been two weeks since the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft. With a few exceptions, signing rookies have been a breeze since the introduction of the 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement. This year looks like more of the same easy signings. Yesterday brought news of several first round picks signing their first NFL contracts. So, that makes this a fine time to see who's signed and who's not signed of the first round picks.

All but the Packer pair of Rashan Gary and Darnell Savage signed yesterday. Green Bay was quick to the table this year and got their first round picks signed a week ago.

The Vikings would probably have their entire draft class signed if they could afford to do so. Right now, they have less than $1 million and in cap space. They need more than $2 million to sign first round pick Garrett Bradbury. That's a nagging little issue but they'll get it worked out soon.

The rookie wage scale might be the best thing to come out of the current CBA, Gone are ludicrous contracts for players that have never stepped into an NFL game and training camp holdouts. Nearly a third of this year's first round picks are signed. It's May 10. Prior to the 2011 CBA, teams often didn't even start negotiations until early July. It's a beautiful thing.
