A quick reminder that there are two things going on post-draft: 1) undrafted free agent contract signings and 2) mini-camp invitations. Sometimes both are reported as “signings”, however as many of you know, there is a big difference between the two.
Undrafted free agents (UDFAs) – Priority players added to NFL rosters after the draft. UDFAs sign 3 year contracts for the NFL minimum, although those contracts only matter if they make the 53-man roster. They receive signing bonuses (usually around $10K, but can go higher if a guy is really a top priority). UDFAs count towards NFL roster limits. There are typically 10-15 UDFAs signed by each NFL team. While few UDFAs ultimately make the 53-man roster as rookies, many more will make NFL practice squads (a receive compensation of $7,200 per week).
Mini-camp invitees – Rookie mini-camps were introduced in the most recent collective bargaining agreement IIRC. NFL teams will invite 12-20 players that didn’t receive UDFA contracts to tryout for what is usually 1-2 remaining UDFA spots. So getting a UDFA spot from a mini-camp invite is a really good accomplishment. If I understand it correctly, players can attend more than one team’s mini-camp. That makes sense given that the players are not under contract when they accept a mini-camp invite.
As best as I can tell, John Wolford (Jets), Wendell Dunn (Steelers) and Cam Serigne (Saints) have each received mini-camp invites. I assume that means they could sign a UDFA contract with another team if one was offered.
