GREEN BAY, Wis. -- It’s the potential of a job -- not a few extra dollars -- that the Green Bay Packers use to lure rookies who aren’t selected in the NFL draft.
That was evident again in the Packers’ undrafted free agent signing bonus list.
According to NFL Players Association salary records, the Packers did not give out a signing bonus greater than $5,000 to any undrafted rookie in their class of 20 players this year.
“We very much push the notion that if you come here, historically speaking, you have a pretty good chance of making the team, making the practice squad, making something where you can ply your trade,” Packers general manager Ted Thompson said.
