$155k is on the low end of signing bonuses.
Usually, UDFA's don't get jack shit. I know some get a few thousand. I've heard of a select few getting five figure bonuses.
Where do you come up with some of the b.s. you post in here? You keep getting called out by others for the, seeming, random crap you state as fact and I can see why. Do you ever do any research before you let your fingers shit all over your keyboard?
The following is from DraftKings:
What will the salary be for undrafted free agents after the NFL Draft?
The current Collective Bargaining Agreement requires that contracts for undrafted free agents have a $750,000 base salary in 2023.
Signing bonuses and guaranteed money will drastically shift between players and teams. Franchises only have a certain total amount of money that they can pull from to use for signing bonuses for UDFAs. The number is determined based on the team’s total budgeted allotment for rookies, and
last year ranged between $160,000 and $200,000, depending on the team. Teams can give as much or as little of their pool to a single player, but they only have the budgeted allotment.
UDFA contracts are for three years, which is a year less than the four-year deals draft picks sign. There will be some guaranteed money in the signing bonus or base salary, but it is lower than that of draft picks. Just because a player wasn’t drafted doesn’t mean they can’t have an impactful NFL career. La’el Collins, Wes Welker, Kurt Warner, Tony Romo, Antonio Gates and Adam Vinatieri are considered the most famous UDFAs in NFL history.
