The Los Angeles Rams got some valuable contributions from their undrafted rookies last year, led by Jaylen McCollough, Omar Speights and Justin Dedich. This offseason, the Rams have signed a total of 18 undrafted rookies following the 2025 draft in hopes that a few of them could help the team if needed

Though the Rams do value undrafted players each year, they don’t give out nearly as much guaranteed money as some other teams. According to Spotrac, they only gave those 18 players a total of $192,000 in guaranteed money; Willie Lampkin leads the group with $30,000 guaranteed.

Only three other teams gave out less guaranteed money to their undrafted rookies this year: the Ravens ($181,500), Chargers ($181,000) and Steelers ($172,000).

Last year, the Rams paid $181,000 to their undrafted rookies, which was the fifth-lowest total of any team. In other words, it’s nothing new for them to give low guarantees to undrafted players.

It doesn’t mean those players can’t make the 53-man roster because the Rams will keep the best 53 regardless of draft pedigree, but there’s no question players with higher guarantees have a better chance of sticking around.
