The days of lengthy training camp holdouts for draft picks has long since passed (unless you’re Joey Bosa) given the current rookie contract slotting system in place with the current Collective Bargaining Agreement. Just three weeks since the NFL Draft came to an end, the vast majority of draft picks have already signed their rookie contract.
As of Thursday night, 180 of the 256 players drafted had signed their rookie contracts, according to the league transaction reports.
There are a few notable quirks to the players that remain unsigned.
There are currently more third-round picks without contracts (24) than first-round picks (22).
The Los Angeles Rams and Miami Dolphins account for 19 of the remaining unsigned players as neither team has inked a single draft pick to a rookie contract at this point.
Three teams - the Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles - have signed their entire draft classes. Another 11 teams (Atlanta, Carolina, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, LA Chargers, Minnesota, New Orleans, Seattle, Tennessee and Washington) have just one pick yet to be signed.
Indianapolis Colts guard Quenton Nelson (6th overall) and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen (10th overall) are the highest picks to have signed their rookie contracts.
Below is the list of players still unsigned, first listed by draft position, then by team.
