The Pittsburgh Steelers agreed to terms with 11 undrafted free agents at the conclusion of the 2019 NFL Draft and now that more of those players have signed their three-year contracts, we can pass along the details of 4 of those deals courtesy of former NFL agent Joel Corry.
Once again, let it be known that the undrafted rookie reservation amount for 2019 is $109,115, according to Corry. That number is the maximum amount of signing bonuses teams are allowed to give to undrafted free agents in 2019 and is a fixed percentage of the total Rookie Compensation Pool for 2019.
Of the seven undrafted Steelers free agents listed below, Alexander Myres, Chris Nelson, Trevor Wood, and Matthew Wright, Myers received the largest signing bonus which was $20,000. He is followed by Nelson ($10,000), Wood ($7,000) and Wright ($5,000), according to Corry.
I’ll pass along the rest of the undrafted free agent contracts as soon as the full details become available.
