The Baltimore Ravens announced on Thursday they’ve signed 2025 second-round draft pick, outside linebacker Mike Green.
Green was the final draft selection by the Ravens to sign his deal, and a part of the large swath of second-round selections to sign. On July 16, San Francisco 49ers’ Alfred Collins was just the second of 32 second-round selections to sign their contract.
The reason for such a high volume of unsigned second-round selections is due to “offset” language. While most contracts are secure
in what they are and are not guaranteeing, there is room for second-round selections with the amount of money guaranteed. This has led to holdouts and players remaining unsigned.
CBS Sports’ Joel Corry reported New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough is “insisting on a fully guaranteed contract.”
As training camp approaches — or in the case of the Los Angeles Chargers which has begun — deals are now being completed by both sides. As of this publishing, the total amount of unsigned second-round picks is now down to 24.
Along with the announcement of signing Green, the Ravens also announced they’ve placed safety Ar’Darius Washington on the active/physically unable to perform list. He is reportedly aiming for a return this season around November.
