The NFL has hit a logjam and is collectively lagging far behind where it normally is at this point in the offseason. Two years ago<\/a>, the league hit its last 30 unsigned players before July. Last year, teams were signing rookies as quickly as they were drafting them, and only 10 players remained unsigned<\/a> by June 17. A couple intriguing situations have caused pens to go quiet in 2025, and as a result, here are the 33 remaining unsigned rookies of the 2025 NFL Draft:<\/p>\n

Round 4:<\/p>\n

In recent years, a trend has seen second-rounders lasting the longest, but what we\u2019re seeing this year is unheard of. As rookies have been getting a bit of flexibility in negotiating structures of guarantees, getting deals done has become a waiting game of seeing what surrounding picks are getting for comparison. Last year, teams breezed through the issue, but 2025 has seen significantly increased troubles.<\/p>\n

Texans wide receiver\u00a0Jayden Higgins<\/a> set the tone by signing a fully guaranteed rookie contract<\/a>, the first ever for a second-round selection. The next day, the Browns were essentially forced to do the same<\/a> for Carson Schwesinger<\/a>, picked one slot before Higgins. Shough, the Saints rookie quarterback, is seeking the same deal<\/a>, hoping that his elevated status as a passer will help convince New Orleans to continue making history. Shough\u2019s efforts have caused every pick between him and Higgins to stand pat, waiting to see if they get to ask for full guarantees from their teams, as well. This would be a drastic development, as last year\u2019s 40th overall pick, Cooper DeJean<\/a>, received only two fully guaranteed years with only partial guarantees in Year 3.<\/p>\n

The biggest story outside of the second round is that of the standoff between Stewart and the Bengals<\/a>. Stewart has issues with what he perceives as a lack of protection in Cincinnati\u2019s offer that causes a contract default in any year to void any guarantees in all the following years. It\u2019s a new precedent the team is trying to set, and Stewart seems intent on preventing them from doing so.<\/p>\n

It will be interesting to see which standoff gets settled first: Stewart\u2019s or Shough\u2019s. The latter standoff ending would likely set off a domino reaction of second-round deals that would help a large number of teams close out their rookie classes. To this point, only four NFL teams have done so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The NFL has hit a logjam and is collectively lagging far behind where it normally is at this…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":20007,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[80,286,583,913,651,390,117,279,53,260,391,256,54,257,9316,258,113,285,1162,7,345,253,392,315,1422,125,1006,576,298,110,393,262,58,277,280,251,276,249,55,255,6,15,748,297,1022,3656,681,4442,109,586,1032,252,261,1496,1163,591,250,628,394,584,772,596,1170,283,111,42041],"class_list":{"0":"post-195049","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl-draft","8":"tag-2025-nfl-draft","9":"tag-aireontae-ersery","10":"tag-alfred-collins","11":"tag-andrew-mukuba","12":"tag-anthony-belton","13":"tag-arizona-cardinals","14":"tag-baltimore-ravens","15":"tag-benjamin-morrison","16":"tag-buffalo-bills","17":"tag-carolina-panthers","18":"tag-chicago-bears","19":"tag-cincinnati-bengals","20":"tag-cleveland-browns","21":"tag-dallas-cowboys","22":"tag-demetrius-knight","23":"tag-denver-broncos","24":"tag-detroit-lions","25":"tag-donovan-ezeiruaku","26":"tag-elijah-arroyo","27":"tag-football","28":"tag-green-bay-packers","29":"tag-houston-texans","30":"tag-indianapolis-colts","31":"tag-jack-bech","32":"tag-jack-kiser","33":"tag-jacksonville-jaguars","34":"tag-jahdae-barron","35":"tag-jonah-savaiinaea","36":"tag-jt-tuimoloau","37":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","38":"tag-las-vegas-raiders","39":"tag-los-angeles-chargers","40":"tag-los-angeles-rams","41":"tag-luther-burden","42":"tag-mason-taylor","43":"tag-miami-dolphins","44":"tag-mike-green","45":"tag-new-england-patriots","46":"tag-new-orleans-saints","47":"tag-new-york-jets","48":"tag-nfl","49":"tag-nfl-draft","50":"tag-nic-scourton","51":"tag-nick-emmanwori","52":"tag-oluwafemi-oladejo","53":"tag-omarr-norman-lott","54":"tag-ozzy-trapilo","55":"tag-pfr-originals","56":"tag-philadelphia-eagles","57":"tag-quinshon-judkins","58":"tag-rj-harvey","59":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","60":"tag-seattle-seahawks","61":"tag-shemar-stewart","62":"tag-shemar-turner","63":"tag-t-j-sanders","64":"tag-tampa-bay-buccaneers","65":"tag-tate-ratledge","66":"tag-tennessee-titans","67":"tag-terrance-ferguson","68":"tag-tre-harris","69":"tag-treveyon-henderson","70":"tag-trey-amos","71":"tag-tyler-shough","72":"tag-washington-commanders","73":"tag-will-johnson-michigan"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195049","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=195049"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/195049\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/20007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=195049"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=195049"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=195049"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
