Always interesting to get a look at the guaranteed money that UDFAs receive.
While the amounts don't ... well ... guarantee anything about their place on the roster, it is a good barometer for how much attention players were receiving from other teams.
Here are the top earners this year:
OL Torricelli Simpkins $259K
OL Easton Kitty $240K
RB Marcus Yarns $120K
WR Chris Tyree $85K
DT Omari Thomas $75K
I will say that it actually did kind of look that way during spring practices. Simpkins was someone we noted moved well, Yarns has gotten a steady amount of hype and Chris Tyree had at least one catch that still stands out in my mind.
So, we'll see where it goes from here. But if you're picking a dark horse, those guys probably start training camp with the best odds to make the team.
