In less than a week, the 32 NFL teams will have reported a training camp. Even then, there could be a lot of retained recruit.
A total of 257 players were selected in 2025 NFL draftBut 31 players remained not signed before Thursday. The problem for most teams is that they could not get their second round under contract choice. Of the 32 players selected in this Tour, only three had signed their recruit contract before Thursday morning. However, the valves have opened in the last three days with 22 signing their recruit agreements over this period.
As things are held, eight players are not signed, which means that eight players could still hold.
In this spirit, let’s throw a glimpse of the tour on uncommon players and if each player could be able to conclude an agreement before the start of his training camp.
Choice of first round not signed (1)
- Date of the Bengal Recruits Report: July 19
To date, you have probably heard of all the drama here. Things become controversial between Shemar Stewart and Bengals. The team launched a curve in its contractual negotiations with it by adding new language With his agreement that the Bengals did not use with their last two first round choices. Stewart does not want the language there, the Bengals do, and now, the two parties are in a dead end. Stewart jumped all the OTAs and although he presented himself, he did not train at the compulsory mini-camp. If we do not see a side flash soon, it is almost a guarantee that Stewart will hold the blow.
For the second consecutive year, there are 31 draft choices in the first round signed by July 16, and for the second consecutive year, Bengals are the only team that has not yet obtained its first round under contract.
Take on the agent: Decompose exactly why Shemar Stewart of Bengals remains only the choice of first round not signed in 2025

So what causes the second round restraint? Ancient Nfl Agent Joel Corry answered this question last month, and it seems to be a good time to go. Essentially, deduction has to do with contractual guarantees. The Texans decided to make history with the contract they gave to Jayden Higgins, and this decision threw a key throughout the second round.
- The Texans make history with the Jayden Higgins contract. Each player selected in the first round obtains a fully guaranteed recruit contract, but this is not the case with the players taken in the second round. Well, it’s only this year. When Higgins signed his agreement on May 8, he became the First second round choice in the history of the NFL to obtain a fully guaranteed recruit agreementAnd he was not even the first choice of the second round. It was the second choice of the round at the 34th in the general classification.
- Browns distribute the same affair. The Higgins agreement with the Texans put the Browns in a place where they had to give a fully guaranteed contract to Carson Schwesinger, who was the first choice in the second round (33rd in total). The secondary ended up obtaining a fully guaranteed agreement, and in what was probably not a coincidence, He had it one day after Higgins officially signed his contract. In 2024, the first choice of the second round (Keon Coleman) obtained only 95.7% of his guaranteed contract, but Schwesinger obtained 100%.
- Savaiaea, the burden makes the story: The dolphins goalkeeper Jonah Savaiaea and the large receiver Luther Burden III were the first players in their draft positions to receive fully guaranteed contracts.
- Tyler Shough complicates things: The quarter of the saints was taken with the 40th choice in total, and he wanted a fully guaranteed agreement, because it will probably be the team starting quarter this year. This started a domino effect of second round choices which, like Shough, may also have received fully guaranteed offers, especially for players taken between the 35th and 39th choice. An exception will probably be Browns in Ballon Beareur Quinshon Judkins, the 36th choice in total, which was Arrested on July 12 On an accusation of disturbing domestic violence. Judkins could face a suspension of the NFL and did not report for the training camp with the rest of the recruits of the Browns on Friday.
Shough would have Get his coveted and fully guaranteed agreement Saturday, which includes a list of list bonuses not presented in any first -round offer. This will allow Shough to receive the majority of its compensation each year during the first week of the training camp.
