Rams Undrafted Rookies Get Minimal Pay

The Los Angeles Rams are keeping it lean this season, signing just 18 undrafted rookies for a total guaranteed payout of just $77,500 — the lowest in the NFL. With a stacked roster and defensive upgrades, the Rams aren’t betting heavily on newcomers, even though they’ve historically found value in undrafted talent. Only five of the 18 rookies got signing bonuses, and the highest — $45,000 to tight end Dan Villari — barely covers half the team’s total. While other teams like the Chiefs are splashing over $3 million on undrafted players, the Rams are clearly prioritizing experience over upside.
