The signing of Trey Amos, a second-round pick for the Washington Commanders, marks a significant shift in NFL negotiations for rookie contracts. Initially, only two second-round picks had secured their deals, reflecting a broader trend where second-round draft choices sought guaranteed contracts or more guaranteed money. The stalemate ended when the San Francisco 49ers set a precedent by guaranteeing over $9 million for rookie Alfred Collins. This shift enabled Amos to finalize his deal, ensuring his participation in training camp as a key cornerback for the team.
The Commanders were among those holding firm with second-round pick Trey Amos. Once the measuring stick regarding guarantees was lowered somewhat, it didn't take long for something to get resolved that works for all parties.
Only two second-round picks had been signed, with just a few short days remaining until training camp, which was completely unprecedented.
The San Francisco 49ers guaranteed more than $9 million of defensive lineman Alfred Collins' $10.3 million rookie deal. Then, the floodgates opened.
Washington couldn't afford for Amos to miss any time. They are expecting him to become a core part of the cornerback rotation immediately.
