What Happens After the Draft
Once the NFL Draft concludes, the draft order reverses for undrafted free agent signings. This means the team with the worst record from the previous season gets the first opportunity to sign undrafted players. Teams then take turns signing available players during draft weekend. This process happens very quickly, with teams using scouts and coaches to contact players and offer contracts immediately.
The Signing Process
When a team wants to sign an undrafted free agent, they contact the player or his agent and offer a contract. Most undrafted signings include a rookie minimum salary, which is set by the NFL collective bargaining agreement. Players can sign with any team that offers them a contract during the open signing period. Some players may receive slightly higher contracts or signing bonuses if multiple teams are competing for them.
Training Camp and Roster Spots
Undrafted free agents who sign contracts are invited to their team's training camp in the summer. They must compete with other players to earn a spot on the 53-man regular season roster. Many undrafted players do not make the final roster but may be signed to practice squad contracts instead. The practice squad allows players to continue training and developing while being available if needed during the season.
Why Players Sign as Undrafted Free Agents
Players choose to sign with specific teams for various reasons, including coaching staff reputation, team needs at their position, and location. Some players prefer to sign with teams that have better chances of developing their skills. Agents help negotiate the best possible contracts and opportunities for undrafted players. Even without being drafted, signing as an undrafted free agent gives players a legitimate path to playing professional football.
Success Stories
Many successful NFL players started as undrafted free agents. Hall of Famer Kurt Warner, Super Bowl winner Antonio Brown, and Pro Bowler Wes Welker all signed as undrafted free agents and went on to have outstanding careers. These examples show that not being drafted does not prevent a player from becoming a star in the NFL. Hard work and opportunity matter just as much as draft position.
