With this year\u2019s NFL draft officially in the books, the next item on the agenda for the Detroit Lions will be getting their seven selections signed to rookie deals.<\/p>\n

According to the NFL\u2019s collective bargaining agreement, the length of rookie contracts is fixed and cannot be altered.<\/p>\n

First-round draft picks receive a four-year deal with the team holding a fifth-year option, meaning the player\u2019s base salary is fully guaranteed. Second- through seventh-round picks also receive four-year deals, but without a team option.<\/p>\n

Additionally, rookies are not allowed to renegotiate their contracts until after completing their third season. Last offseason, the Lions signed Penei Sewell and Amon-Ra St. Brown to extensions after three seasons, but this year, they opted to exercise the fifth-year options on Aidan Hutchinson and Jameson Williams instead.<\/p>\n

Totals for contracts this year <\/p>\n

As we wait to see who will ink their deals first, here\u2019s an estimate of how much each player will be paid total on their four-year deal, according to Spotrac<\/a>:<\/p>\n
