Anyone know the rules on the length of team control for UDFA's?
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Yeah, the signing bonuses plus guaranteed money can be better. Ben Sims got more money from the Vikings as a UDFA (110000) than Carrington Valentine did (~100800) as a GB R7 pick. It's been happening over the last 3 drafts or so, the UDFAs getting as much or more along with control over where they can sign. Theory is it's one reason Gb likes those R7 picks - they have better cost control over the player's contract in many cases.
Thanks guys. It looks like UDFA's have team control for 4 years, much like round 2-7 picks - as long as the team extends qualifying offers, and the player makes the roster.
