Draft Pick Signings

With the NFL confirming that training camps will be fully open by July 28, it's time to take a look at the signing status of the players selected in the 2020 NFL Draft. This hacked-up offseason has made it a slow process. The draft pick signings have picked up since the league's training camp announcement. It's picked up to the point where the signings as of mid-July are at typical mid-May levels.

130/255

Even with the recent surge of signings, just over half of the players selected in the 2020 NFL Draft have signed their first contract. With every rookie expected to report to their respective team by the end of this week, it's likely that nearly every one of the remaining 125 unsigned draft picks will sign their first contract over the next few days.

Seven teams have completed the task of signing their draft picks.

Atlanta Falcons
Buffalo Bills
Cleveland Browns
Jacksonville Jaguars
Kansas City Chiefs
New England Patriots
Philadelphia Eagles

Nine teams have yet to sign any of their draft picks.

Chicago Bears
Cincinnati Bengals
Denver Broncos
Las Vegas Raiders
Los Angeles Chargers
Los Angeles Rams
New Orleans Saints
Pittsburgh Steelers
Washington

The remaining 16 teams are somewhere in between.

When Iowa quarterback Nate Stanley signed his rookie contract last week, I thought that the Minnesota Vikings were finally tackling the business of signing their draft picks. A week later, the seventh-round pick remains the team's only draft pick to sign his contract. Over recent years, the Vikings have made it routine to sign their draft picks within a week or two of selecting them. This has been a different sort of offseason. The rookies are expected to report to the Vikings' training facility on Thursday. It's a safe guess that in addition to some medical testing that the 14 draft picks that haven't signed their first professional football contract will finally do so.
