Gots To Get Paid

To Jeff Wilson:  "That "grinding" you went through is now paying some nice dividends.  Congratulations!  Now show the NFL what you can do.

[EagleMBA]

Congratulations to you, Jeff!

I'm not proud to say that my first gig out of college paid $8,027 per annum. 😞 Here's a little free advice from me and Janis...

Wow.  Very surprising.  Huge deal for a UDFA.

Congrats to Jeff! Go Mean Green!

I think I've seen this before with another player.  Doesn't he still have to make the roster for the contract to stick? I hope he does, and I'll have to swallow my pride and root for him on the loathsome 49ers.

Excellent choice in agent Jeff!!

Ugh, I know. 
Growing up in the 90's as a Cowboys fan, outside of the NFCEast teams, there is not another team I hate more.

I'm impressed that the two sides came together so quickly. 

Send that man a Mean Green Scholarship Association application.

GO MEAN GREEN

Yes, still has to make the 53 man roster to get paid.

Will be fun to watch him play with garapolo. Congrats Jeff!

You think so? I thought it was right in line with what his position is.

1,665,000 would be the minimum for a 3 year rookie contract.  So he's getting a little better than minimum.  That's good for an UDFA.

That's the Lee Steinberg influence. 😉

He would only get the money from the NFL contract while on the 53 man roster.  Players on the practice squad get paid per the practice squad terms.

They rarely do this so with that being said why would a team do this? I can only think that the team feels strongly he is going to make the roster and they want to tie him up now?

Very few UDFA get 3 year contracts the day after the draft.  There was probably more than one team that really wanted him.  It doesn't mean a whole lot since SF could just cut him during camp and only lose any signing bonus they gave him (not sure they gave him one).  It is a good sign that SF is hoping he makes the team. 

Checking the SF SBNation board, many of their fans really like him and think he's a good fit for their system.  SF doesn't have a lot of backs so it's a great opportunity for Wilson.
