The teams that gave picks no #33 and #34 fully guaranteed contracts have created a mess for the rest of the league, as the other 30 are all refusing to sign in some sort of solidarity movement. I blame NIL in CFB, because when young guys came to the league broke they were eager to sign and get to work.
Sunset; last year's 33rd pick (Keon Coleman) got ~97% guaranteed. The 34th pick (Ladd McConkey) got ~92% guaranteed. The 35th pick got ~88% guaranteed.
Everyone is waiting for Nick Emmanwori to sign with Seahawks - and he wants 100% guaranteed.
And yes, before NIL, players came into the draft worse than broke. They were in debt to their agency for upfront money needed to train and get ready for the combine.
Now the debt leverage is gone. Also, some of these guys made more in College than they will make in their NFL contract.
Maybe they will play for the love of the game
