Only Bears Spend Less Than Packers on UFAs

While teams like Patriots, Cowboys and Rams all spent in excess of $100,000 in guaranteed money on undrafted rookies this season, the Packers were at the bottom of the NFL.

According to Brian McIntyre of Yahoo Sports, "The Chicago Bears ($29,500) and Green Bay Packers ($35,500) are the two NFL teams to spend under $40,000 in guaranteed money on undrafted rookie free agents."

Based on those numbers, it's unlikely the Packers gave any of their undrafted rookies any guaranteed money apart from signing bonuses.

As the Green Bay Press-Gazette reported recently, offensive lineman Lane Taylor led the way among undrafted Packers with a $7,000 signing bonus.

In the grand scheme of things, however, the difference between the guaranteed money spent on undrafted free agents between the top and bottom teams in the NFL is not very much.
