The New England Patriots agreed to terms with 15 rookie free agents in the hours and days after the 2020 NFL draft.
De’Jon “Scoota” Harris would be the financial headliner among them.
The undersized, downhill Arkansas linebacker received a signing bonus of $15,000 and a total of $140,000 guaranteed from New England. Both figures, as detailed by Mike Reiss of ESPN, lead the way for an undrafted class that combined for $100,500 in signing bonuses and $920,000 in guarantees.
Defensive tackle Bill Murray out of William & Mary, running back J.J. Taylor out of Arizona and wide receiver Isaiah Zuber out of Kansas State also eclipsed the century mark when factoring in partially assured base salaries.
