Signing Undrafted free agents in the NFL is a tricky proposition. In 2026, UDFA NFL Contracts in the NFC South totaled over $4.5 million. Once the draft is over, teams can sign undrafted college players, and the enticement of money talks. NFL teams just spent $10.6 million on undrafted players. It is worth noting that even though undrafted free agents can sign a three-year contract for just over $3 million, very little of that contract is guaranteed. In fact, many players have nothing guaranteed, or only paltry amounts of five to twenty thousand dollars.<\/p>\n

Some teams, like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a>, invested a guaranteed $916,000 on just five players, while others, like the Miami Dolphins, spent $180,000 on just two players.<\/p>\n
