If not, how would a rookie from a poor family deal with the expenses? Expand All players get a per diem before the season starts. 1st year players (rookies and udfa's) get around $1,000.00 a week the last I heard. 1st year guys also get travel expenses. Veteran players get a little more.

Expand EJ must have had someone read his rookie contract to him or we’d still be waiting! They’d call it the worlds’s longest holdout if you didn’t know better. (I’m sorry EJ, you’re a good guy. It’s just the years of frustration talking!) 1

Sure it's no contact but it does happen. Expand They would get advances from their agents. I believe they have injury insurance.

Expand I wonder how that whole world works? A college player can get insurance, but you never know where you’ll be drafted or how much it should be for. Do you pick a $$$ number and see what the premiums are? Does it vary by position? A kicker seems safer than a RB or WR. How about after being drafted? Are they insured for the middle of what the slotted $$$ would be for that pick, or just a portion of that? There are a lot of variables there. I wonder what the premiums look like for a #7 pick. The sooner you sign the more you save on premiums, but is that significant? And the last question along these lines....why am I so curious? Edited June 16, 2018 by Augie

Expand ...LMAO Augie......you seem to forget that the major universities do NOT have a salary cap so when these guys arrive at the NFL level, their "booty" already exceeds their max rook deal....as Switzer was eloquently quoted, " the ONLY difference in coaching the Cowboys versus the Sooners was that I did't have a salary cap in Oklahoma"...uh oh.... 1 1
Matt_In_NH Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 When he and the Bills agree on terms. Likely offset language and bonus payout schedule.
HOUSE Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) He is pretty well locked in at #7. Probably sign a few days before camp Edited July 5, 2018 by THE SLAMMER
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 ...me thinks agents are waiting for Mayfield to sign first and set the bar for guaranteed money......once he signs, others will follow suit....... 1

Expand The Browns are probably debating if they even need Mayfield since Tyrod is looking so good. But seriously, it's getting close to camp time. Sign a damn deal already. 2
Mark Vader Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Training camps begin in a little over 2 weeks time, and there are still 14 unsigned first round picks.

Because it will be guaranteed the Bills will have to put that money in escrow by rule. Since he won't report to camp for 6 weeks it is likely he will sign the contract just prior to training camp. Expand Wish I could have the interest on that, even for just six weeks.

Soda Popinski Posted July 9, 2018 Posted July 9, 2018 Ohh that tricky offset language. This rookie wage scale was supposed to fix all these contract quibbles. But you give lawyers enough time and they'll find something to argue about. 1 1
RPbillsfan Posted July 24, 2018 Author Posted July 24, 2018 Does anyone have any info on why Josh Allen has not been signed yet. Looking for any feedback Thanks
DJB Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Probably signs before the season starts i was told in a high level meeting Edited July 24, 2018 by DJB
Mike in Horseheads Posted July 24, 2018 Posted July 24, 2018 More than likely after this thread gets closed 2 1
