AI Overview

First-round NFL picks earn guaranteed 4-year contracts ranging from approximately $16.8 million to $57.3 million depending on their exact draft slot. These rookie salaries are determined by a pre-set wage scale, which also mandates that all first-round contracts include a team-exercisable fifth-year option.

A breakdown of the earnings hierarchy highlights these pay scales:

The No. 1 Pick: The top overall pick signs a 4-year contract worth around $57.3 million, which includes a substantial upfront signing bonus.

Top 10 Picks: Contract values remain highly lucrative at the top of the board. For example, the No. 5 pick is guaranteed roughly $47.8 million.

Late First Round (Picks 30-32): The final picks in the first round sign 4-year deals valued between $16.7 million and $17.5 million.For the complete breakdown of every slot's salary, signing bonus, and guaranteed money, you can view the full Spotrac Rookie Scale



All first-round picks are signed, except quarterbacks Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson

Before the 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement created a rookie wage scale with slotted contracts based on selection position, the first overall pick would often sign a contract before the draft even began.

Fast forward to 2026. Seven weeks and one day after round one happened, 30 of 32 players have signed contracts. The two unsigned first-round picks are the two quarterbacks: Fernando Mendoza (taken first overall) and Ty Simpson (13th).

There isn’t much to negotiate in these contracts. The biggest issues are cash flow (specifically, when will the full amount of the signing bonus be paid?), the mechanism for voiding guarantees, and whether the guarantees will have offset language.

It’s unclear why Mendoza and Simpson haven’t signed. Both could have forced the issue by refusing to participate in the offseason program until they had their contracts. (All draft picks should take that position, frankly.)

Both will likely sign before training camp opens. Holdouts have become rare. Still, no deal is done until it’s done. And it’s a bit glaring that all first-round picks have done their deals except for the two first-round quarterbacks.]]> Ramsdude RamsFootballFans.comSat, 13 Jun 2026 03:21:39 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1243764,1243764#msg-1243764 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1243764,1243764#msg-1243764What are we doing here, that is the question.

Everyone wants their team to be the odds-on favorite to win the Super Bowl.

Everyone wants their team to be at the top of preseason power rankings.

But, with the status of the frontrunner comes a certain amount of dread. That nagging feeling that every team is gunning for you and that the slightest slip could dash our lofty expectations.

I wouldn't trade our current situation, but I'll admit that it makes me edgy about the prospect of injuries, off the field issues, and other potential road blocks.

That's why the 1999 season was so amazing. After Trent Green went down, any expectations of a turnaround were greatly diminished, and nobody had us a s preseason Super Bowl contender.

Nothing could ever top that season.

Hopefully this one will come close!]]> AvengerRam RamsFootballFans.comFri, 12 Jun 2026 19:49:51 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?23,1243747,1243747#msg-1243747 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?23,1243747,1243747#msg-1243747 BerendsenRam Rams ChroniclesFri, 12 Jun 2026 15:42:58 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1243745,1243745#msg-1243745 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?4,1243745,1243745#msg-1243745
Anyhow for part of the film they are zooming around in these Hydrocopters. I thought they were something just made up for the film but I guess they are a real thing. They are described as an amphibious, propeller-driven vehicle designed to travel over water, ice, & snow. They are similar to the airboats you see people use in the everglades.

Puka lands at 24... no other Ram shows up on this list. Stafford nowhere to be found. How is that possible? How can Justin Herbert be on this list year after year but Stafford cannot crack the top 50 even after a MVP season. Salt in the wound? Cooper Kupp who outside of the months after the SB win could not find his way on this list finds his way on as a Seahawk at 41.

I'm sorry but the Rams are loaded with too many star players to not be represented on this list. Something is very wrong

Rams' Alaric Jackson DV Accuser Says She's Pregnant, Has Cuts & Bruises ... In Restraining Order App

link



Alaric Jackson's alleged domestic violence victim says she pleaded with the Rams star not to hurt her because she was pregnant, but claims he coldly responded, 'I don't give a f***' while roughing her up during an argument earlier this week.

TMZ Sports obtained the 38-year-old woman's request for the TRO, where she goes into detail about Monday night's dust-up, which she says left her with several injuries.

"Verbal threats, scratches, bruises, took my phone & keys," Jackson's accuser wrote when asked whether the 6'7", 340 lb. athlete caused "any emotional or physical harm."

The alleged incident went down around 10 PM at a West Hills, CA, home ... and while the origin of the argument is still unclear, the woman, in a handwritten account, described what she says unfolded.

The description reads, "He took my phone during the attempt I fought to hold on I bit him trying to keep possession of phone. He took it and my headphones, broke them & threw my phone. At which point I started to record the erratic behavior at which point he flipped my food over."

The statement reveals the pregnancy, reading ... "When he came back in from taking things to the car he became upset I was recording, he struggled w/ me for my phone I told he him to be careful because I’m pregnant, he said "I don't give a f***.' I got bruises, scratches and cuts in the scuffle. He took my keys & phone and threw them over our city view yard."

The woman also claimed Jackson previously took her possessions on two other occasions, including on March 7, 2026.

"[He] took all of my belongings & threw them in dumpster, took my pass[prt, changed locks and made verbal threats of bodily harm," she wrote.

The alleged victim is seeking a "no-contact" and a "stay-away" order. She is also asking the court to order Jackson to move out of the home they share, arguing she's the one on the lease.

The woman isn't only seeking protection for herself -- she also wants the court to order the Rams OT to steer clear of her French Bulldog.


As we previously reported, Jackson was arrested Monday night by the LAPD after the alleged altercation ... and he was taken to a local jail for felony battery.

The Rams responded with a boilerplate statement addressing the arrest.

"We are aware of the incident regarding Alaric Jackson, and we take these matters very seriously. Due to this being an ongoing legal situation, we cannot comment further at this time."

Jackson, the anchor of the O-line, played in 16 games for L.A. last season, starting every one.]]> Ramsdude RamsFootballFans.comThu, 11 Jun 2026 16:52:14 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?7,1243615,1243615#msg-1243615 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?7,1243615,1243615#msg-1243615 ColiseumRam Help and Support ForumWed, 10 Jun 2026 15:40:10 -0400 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1243604,1243604#msg-1243604 https://ramsrule.com/herd/read.php?19,1243604,1243604#msg-1243604

Find the money. Alter some plans, and get a LT somehow who can at minimum be a stop gap as this plays out.

Personally I dont believe much will come of this issue if what I have read so far is true. But an nfl suspension is likely and since it would be the second time I believe the minimum would be 4 games.

Currently there is no capable LT on the roster, its asking far too much for Trost to come in as a rookie and man the LT spot in the NFL on a championship caliber team facing a rough schedule.

I would take a shot on Cam Robinson. I just do not want to see the Rams make the same mistake on the OL as they made last season at CB. Don't allow the LT to be a below average performer.

We've been here for decades. We've stayed loyal through thick and thin, and never wavered as fans.

We now eagerly anticipated a season that has so much promise. The Front Office has really set this team up in an amazing fashion. They signed two new top-end CBs. They retained key players such as Kam Curl, Quentin Lake and Nate Landman. They got Matthew Stafford's contract squared away. And then, just when you thought they were done, they traded for the freakin' Defensive Player of the Year!!!

This team is ready to make an historic run.

Unless you knuckleheads screw it up!!!

Is it too much to ask that you NOT go out partying until the early morning hours with random strangers?
Is it too much to ask that you not bite people?
Is it too much to act that you refrain from aggressive confrontations with members of the opposite sex?

You are on the cusp of the ultimate prize of your profession, along with the accolades, riches and places in history that come from a championship.

IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT YOU BEHAVE LIKE ADULTS AND PROFESSIONALS!!!!

We, as fans can forgive a lot. But if you screw this up because of a lack of self-control off the field, that's going to be tough for me (and, I'd expect) others to absolve.

We're with you.

Now don't F it up!!!!!!!]]> AvengerRam RamsFootballFans.comThu, 11 Jun 2026 13:49:08 -0400
