There’s technically no rush for the Los Angeles Rams to sign their rookie draft picks, but they certainly do want them all under contract before training camp so there are no issues. With such a massive draft class, signing all of them has taken some time, but Los Angeles is making progress.
After signing Tre’Vius Hodges-Tomlinson, Zach Evans and Ochaun Mathis last week, the Rams have just two players left to sign: Kobie Turner and Byron Young.
Rookie contracts are structured based on the rookie wage scale, which pays them based on their draft positioning, so the actual negotiations between the agent and the team should be fairly simple.
However, there is wiggle room when it comes to guaranteed money, as we saw with Steve Avila.
In past years, the Rams have often gotten their entire draft classes under contract all at once rather than signing them one by one, but there’s really no right way to get these done.
