I hesitate to post in this horrible trashy junk thread that needs to be burned off this site, BUT... league minimum is $465k in 2017, I believe, and that's literally the least you can make on a team.

Clayton Fejedelem was a 7th round pick last year and got a 4yr/$2.4m contract. If he only lasts 3 years in the NFL, he will walk away with $1.7m.
