Rams gave less guaranteed money to UDFAs than any NFL team
The Los Angeles Rams have provided the least guaranteed money to their undrafted free agents (UDFAs) compared to any other NFL team this year. They allocated only $77,500 in guaranteed money, with only five of the 18 signed UDFAs receiving a signing bonus. This minimal investment suggests a lack of commitment to these players as they compete for a spot on the roster.
- ▪The Rams signed 18 undrafted rookies but provided only $77,500 in guaranteed money.
- ▪This amount is the lowest in the NFL, with the next closest team, the Steelers, offering $80,000.
- ▪The Rams' tight end Dan Villari received the highest signing bonus among the UDFAs at $45,000.
