UPDATED June 19, 2018:
With the new rookie salary pool (“rookie cap”), as instituted by the league’s 2011 CBA, there really isn’t a lot of mystery about the size and scope of rookie contracts as is it basically now a slotted system.
For early 1st round picks, offset language can often be an issue. Since high draft picks receive fully guaranteed contracts, teams often look for offset language which allows them to recoup some or all of the future guaranteed money if the player since elsewhere. Just how much of the guaranteed money is included in the offsets is the subject of negotiation.
For 3rd round picks, while the total amount of their contract is slotted, the total compensation, after the signing bonus, works out to be a little more than the minimum base salaries, so where that extra is fit in, as far as the 2nd-4th year base salaries go, can often cause a bit of a delay.
Otherwise, the slotted system has made it much easier for teams to get their draft picks signed quickly, as the Ravens have pretty much already done.
With First Round Pick Hayden Hurst now signed, the entire Ravens’ draft class in now under contract. Below is the breakdown of each of the deals signed by the Ravens’ draft picks:
