The NFL’s second-round rookies are finally signing their contracts. Up until two nights ago, the only players in that round who had inked deals with the teams that selected them back in April were Cleveland Browns linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans receiver Jayden Higgins,

After two months of no signings with 30 of the 32 second-round draft picks from this year, a breakthrough occurred in the Bay Area on Wednesday night as 49ers defensive lineman Alfred Collins agreed to his rookie deal.

The Detroit Lions have signed second-round pick Tate Ratledge to his rookie contract. Ratledge's rookie contract is estimated to be a four-year deal worth a total of $7,652,736 according to Spotrac. He was the first of two offensive linemen the Lions drafted in 2025, with Miles Frazier being the other selection in 2025.
