What to expect for these former first-round picks' new deals
Players drafted in 2018 became eligible to sign contract extensions when the 2020 regular season ended on Jan. 3. Raiders offensive tackle Kolton Miller and Lions center Frank Ragnow are the only 2018 first-round picks to sign new deals so far. Jared Goff 16.22% 22.39% 42.91% 61.94% 80.6% 100% Deshaun Watson 17.31% 12.82% 35.26% 58.97% 79.49% 100% Carson Wentz 10.16% 23.12% 42.97% 60.16% 79.69% 100% Tre'Davious White 24.51% 36.11% 52.05% 66.76% 81.83% 100% A small number of first-round picks getting new deals after playing just three seasons hasn't been unusual under the rookie wage scale implemented by the 2011 NFL collective bargaining agreement. Excluding this year, 3.14 first-round picks on average have signed extensions at this juncture of their careers since 2011 first-round picks initially became eligible for new contracts in 2014. Last year was an anomaly. Six 2017 first-round picks didn't play a fourth season under their rookie contracts because extensions were signed.More Related News
