Undrafted free agents (UDFAs) sign standard three-year contracts with a minimum salary, which in 2026 is set at $3.1 million. Teams can offer guarantees in the form of signing bonuses or salary guarantees, limited by a hard cap of around $200,000 for signing bonuses. While guaranteed money does not assure a roster spot, it indicates player demand in post-draft free agency. The Lions’ 2026 UDFA class includes players like Erick Hunter and Aidan Keanaaina, with varying levels of guaranteed compensation.
