Anyone know what his contract will look like?
Everybody's slotted nowadays. As late 4th round picks, both he and Sneed will get a 4-yr contract worth about $4.0M, and that will include a starting salary of about 750K per year, and a signing bonus.Originally Posted by Bulldog Tom
"According to Over the Cap, the first pick of the fourth round gets a projected salary of $814,377 as part of a four-year, $4.11 million contract. Salary ranges for fourth-round picks go from $814,377 to $733,600 which includes their signing bonus".
"All prospects selected in the draft land a four-year contract. The contract ranges for the fourth round selections are $4.11 million to $3.78 million. Players selected in the fifth round sign deals ranging from $3.64 million to $3.53 million".

Wished my starting salary would have been in that range, when I graduated in 1956.
Thought all rookie contracts in the NFL were for 3 years. Has it changed allowing 4 years?
NFL analysts rave over the Raiders' fourth-round steal, Amik Robertson
Saturday morning, General Manager Mike Mayock and Head Coach Jon Gruden submitted their final draft pick (No. 139 overall) — unless they make a trade — for cornerback Amik Robertson out of Louisiana Tech.
Immediately after making the pick, analysts threw their draft grades out for Robertson like it was an NBA Dunk Contest with 10s all around. Daniel Jeremiah, Mel Kiper, and Bleacher Report draft analyst Matt Miller all shared similar remarks, stating Robertson is arguably the best slot corner in the 2020 Draft Class and is going to make an immediate impact in Las Vegas.
"A guy who has tremendous ball skills," Kiper said during the broadcast. "Only 5-foot-8 and 187 pounds, but he had 16 pass breakups, five interceptions this past year, also had eight tackles for loss, and three picks in one game against Southern Miss. What he lacks in height he makes up in those great ball skills."
"If there weren't some concerns medically with his hips he would've been long gone by now," Jeremiah added. "I think you can make the case he's the best nickel cornerback in this entire draft."

Not a bad salary for anytime in life.
