Undrafted free agents (UDFAs) sign three-year contracts at minimum salary, with a 2026 standard worth $3.1 million. Teams can offer guarantees to attract these players, typically through signing bonuses or salary guarantees, but are limited to about $200,000 in signing bonuses. While guarantees do not ensure a roster spot, they indicate competitive interest in certain players. The Bengals’ 2026 UDFA class includes notable players like Christian Jones and Corey Robinson II, with varying guaranteed amounts.
