With players starting to report to camp and training camp just on the horizon, the feeling that football is returning is finally starting to feel real. For the rookies in Washington, this is incredibly exciting, as they get to start their journeys into new careers that could prove incredibly exciting.
Before they get onto the field and prove what they’re worth, however, all of the rookies must finalize their contracts with the team and get the financials in order. Across the league this has been taking place throughout the summer, but it wasn’t until Wednesday that it started happening in Washington.
So who has signed, and for how much? We keep track of it here.
DE Chase Young
Washington No. 2 overall pick pass-rusher Chase Young has signed his 4-year, $34.56M contract with a $22.697M signing bonus, source said. He receives 100% of his signing bonuses up front. The highest pick yet to sign.
