The NFL Draft is a night where dreams come true and bank accounts get a little bigger. Well, the bank accounts get a little bigger later, but the thought is there. In the first round of the NFL draft, it is truly a wonder where each player will go, but for the highest picks in the draft, it is a wonder how much they will sign with their new team.
First-round picks in the NFL Draft always make the most money with their deals, and of course, players selected higher will have a higher deal. However, every first-round pick will sign a four-year deal with a fifth-year option and also have a signing bonus attached to their deal. Each deal is normally fully guaranteed, but the signing bonus can come over a period of time, or it can be upfront money; it all depends on how the NFL team wants to do it.
So, looking at the 2025 NFL Draft, here is every first-round pick for each team, and how much they signed their deal for.
Pick 1: Miami, Cam Ward, Tennessee Titans
As the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Ward signed a hefty rookie deal worth $48.7 million over the next four years with a fifth-year option that the team will choose whether or not to pick up. Ward's contract is fully guaranteed money.
Pick 2: Colorado, Travis Hunter, Jacksonville Jaguars
Travis Hunter thought he could go to the Browns, but the Jaguars traded up to get the two-way player out of Colorado. Because of that, the Jags are paying just a bit more for the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, as Hunter signed a $46.6 million four-year deal with a standard fifth-year option for all first-round picks. He has a $30.5 million signing bonus, and the bonus is fully guaranteed and paid upfront. Hunter is the first non-quarterback to receive his signing bonus upfront.
Pick 3: Penn State, Abdul Carter, New York Giants
Abdul Carter will go from causing havoc in the Big Ten to now causing havoc in the NFC and NFC East. Carter was pretty much a guaranteed top-five pick in the NFL Draft, and while many thought the Giants would go quarterback, they decided to bolster their defense instead. They signed Carter to a fully guaranteed $45.26 four-year deal with a standard fifth-year option for first-rounders.
Pick 4: LSU, Will Campbell, New England Patriots
The Patriots needed help on their offensive line in order to protect now franchise quarterback, Drake Maye. The Patriots believe they got that in drafting Will Campbell out of LSU, who signed a $43.7 million four-year deal with a $28.4 million signing bonus.
Pick 5: Michigan, Mason Graham, Cleveland Browns
The Cleveland Browns shocked everyone when they gave up Travis Hunter by trading back to the fifth pick. Then it was thought they would at least fix their quarterback problem and take a gunslinger, but instead chose to find a bookend for Myles Garrett on he defensive line, drafting Mason Graham out of Michigan and signing him to a four-year $40.87 million rookie deal.
Pick 6: Boise State, Ashton Jeanty, Las Vagas Raiders
The Las Vegas Raiders were another team with a quarterback issue, but instead of finding a play-caller, they chose to go with dynamic running back Ashton Jeanty with the sixth overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. Jeanty was the top running back in college football last season and now plans to run all over the NFL on his fully guaranteed four-year $35.89 million rookie deal with a $22.74 million signing bonus.
Pick 7: Missouri, Armand Membou, New York Jets
The New York Jets have been a puzzling team for years, but after signing quarterback Justin Fields, there is hope again for the future.

McMillan signed a four-year $27.9 million deal with the Panthers with a $16.9 million signing bonus.
Pick 9: Texas, Kelvin Banks Jr., New Orleans Saints
