This Buccaneers draft pick might have new life thanks to lingering rookie problem

The NFL has a problem right now, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie second-round pick Benjamin Morrison is directly involved. In fact, Morrison is actually one of 30 second rounders who has yet to sign his rookie deal, as we speak.

The issue stems from these second-round picks having a desire for fully-guaranteed contracts after seeing the Houston Texans do so with wide receiver Jayden Higgins.

Now, with Morrison still unsigned and training camp on the horizon, that could force Morrison, along with many others, to miss the early portion of these practices.

If Morrison does, indeed, miss some camp, that opens the door for 2023 sixth-round pick Josh Hayes to get more valuable reps.
