CURIOSITY CALLING: can anyone describe UFA contract pay?

[monarch]

everyone is aware, that football players want to get paid as per their services rendered.  however, i am curious as to just what form of payout vs contracts, can we expect as per UFA players?  is it somewhat lucrative, are just nominal... what gives upon this front?

Undrafted Free Agents make the League Minimum of $390,000 if they make the 53 man roster, if they are on the Practice Squad, which many of them are, they make $5,200 per week for every week they are on the roster during the Regular season.

Most F/A contracts are for one year and are not [SIZE=12.727272033691406px]guaranteed contracts.  However, the Houston Texans provided Arian Foster a two year contract when he was a F/A and that is why he signed with Houston.[/SIZE]

big thanks darrell, for adding a bit of numerical clarification, as per the direct compensation for UFA.  we can only pray, that the league continues to provide financial advise / expertise to these new players, to help transition them as well as their respective families moving forward.
