As of today, Green Bay Packers second-round draft pick Anthony Belton remains unsigned. But don’t panic — this reflects a broader league-wide delay affecting the entire second round of the NFL Draft.
Belton’s impending deal is largely predetermined. It’s projected at over $8 million, including a $2.466 million signing bonus, with the key sticking point being the percentage of guaranteed money.
The predetermined nature of the deal is part of the current collective bargaining agreement, but as SI’s Bill Huber explained in a recent article, second-round picks being at an impasse over guaranteed money is now a trend.
