After the 2024 NFL Draft concluded, the Green Bay Packers made a move that was unlike what they have done in the recent past: They gave an undrafted offensive lineman $110,000 in guarantees to sign with their squad as a rookie free agent. To put that dollar amount into perspective, that’s more guaranteed money than two of the Packers’ 2024 draft choices received this offseason.
Now, that lineman — former South Florida left tackle Donovan Jennings — has options. On Wednesday, the UFL hosted its rookie draft, where the eight teams in the league were able to call dibs on prospects, regardless of whether those players were on NFL rosters or not.
