As training camp nears, Indianapolis Colts’<\/a> second-round pick JT Tuimoloau still remains unsigned.<\/p>\n

Across the NFL right now, when it comes to second-round picks, that is the norm.<\/p>\n

At this time, only two second-round selections are currently under contract. Carson Schwesinger<\/a>, who was taken at pick 33, and Jayden Higgins<\/a>, taken at pick 34, have both agreed to fully guaranteed deals<\/a>. Every other pick remains unsigned currently.<\/p>\n

When it comes to rookie contracts, in general, there often isn’t a ton of room for negotiating. The\u00a0rookie wage scale<\/a>\u00a0puts a ceiling and floor in place for how much a player can earn on their first contract based on where they were selected.<\/p>\n

However, where there is negotiating wiggle room is in how much of the deal is guaranteed. Over the years, a larger percentage of the contracts for second-round picks have become guaranteed, and with Schwesinger and Higgins each earning that, other second-round selections–at least at the top half–are likely looking for the same deal, or close to it.<\/p>\n

Tuimoloau was the 45th pick overall, about right in the middle of the second round. Typically, there is a bit of a domino effect when it comes to these deals getting done with the earlier selections often laying the framework for what other contracts will look like.<\/p>\n

How this could impact training camps for these unsigned players–if it gets to that point–still remains to be seen, as Adam Schefter alludes to<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Colts’ rookies<\/a> will report for training camp on July 21st, the veterans on July 22nd, and the first practice will take place on July 23rd.<\/p>\n
