Former Auburn pass-rushing specialist Derick Hall has signed his rookie contract, which is pretty much a formality in this era of the NFL, but what makes Hall different is the structure of his deal as a second-round pick.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported that “Hall’s contract will pay 85% of his signing bonus before training camp plus a $100,000 guarantee in Year 4, which would be a first for a second-rounder.”
