There was also a WR who ended up in Philly when we cut him. But there are also some successes as Shaheed got like 200k to come here and that was a huge hit for the team. So guaranteed money paid is just a tool to attract the players for an extended tryout IMO.
Abram was $222k. Nowhere near "serious money" in the NFL.
