The draft is only two weeks old, but as most of the teams conducted rookie minicamps this weekend, there has been a cascade of draft choices signing their contracts, including the Arizona Cardinals.
The Cardinals signed four of their draft picks, one of them being linebacker Jordan Burch, drafted in the third round with the 78th overall pick.
Here are the specifics of edge rusher Jordan Burch’s deal:
As a third-round choice (78 overall), the total value of his four-year deal is $6,489,476 and includes a signing bonus of $1,359,620. His salary cap charge for 2025 is $1,179,905.
With a minimum base salary of $840,000 this year, Burch does have higher than the minimum salaries in the last three years of the contract.
Those minimums are $1.005 million in 2026, $1.12 million in 2027 and $1.235 million in 2028.
Burch will be paid salaries of $1,134,976 next year; $1,429,952 in 2027 and $1,724,928 in 2028.
He has a full split for this year, which means his salary would decrease to $490,000 if he is on injured reserve.
Burch (6-4, 279) played three seasons at South Carolina and the final two at Oregon. His total games were 58 with 36 starts and compiled 16.0 sacks, and 33 tackles for loss. Of those numbers, 15.0 sacks and 27 tackles for loss were in the last three seasons.
In 2024, he had 8.5 sacks and 11 tackles for loss at Oregon.
As of the end of day Friday, 148 of the 257 (57.6 percent) selections had signed and the Cardinals with four of their seven have a nearly identical percentage (57.1).
The breakdown of rounds for the signed contracts league-wide is:
