2025 has become something of an anomaly for second-round picks selected in the NFL Draft not signing their rookie contracts with their respective teams.
While the reasons were complex, the San Francisco 49ers no longer have to worry about officially inking their Round 2 pick, Texas defensive tackle Alfred Collins, as news of that deal going final just hit right after rookies reported to training camp. As reported by ESPN's Adam Schefter, it's a four-year deal worth up to $10.3 million, $9 million of which is guaranteed.
Unsigned rookies can't participate in training camp despite being allowed to partake in prior offseason workouts, such as mandatory minicamp.
