Undrafted Player Secures Richest Free-Agent Deal in League History

An undrafted player reached a free-agency agreement that set a new record for the largest contract awarded to an undrafted player. The deal caps a five-year climb that began with the player running errands during training camp while competing for a roster spot.

years earlier, the same player was still seeking a permanent roster position and performed support tasks at team facilities. The contract amount and length were not disclosed in the initial report.

League officials are expected to review the agreement for compliance with salary-cap rules before it becomes official.
