Michigan broke its program record this past weekend by having 13 Wolverines drafted in the 2024 NFL Draft. The previous high was 11 players selected back in 2017.

With 13 players entering the NFL — plus those that signed UDFA deals — these players will begin to start signing their rookie contracts. Since 2011, when the CBA agreed to implement a fixed rookie wage, it’s next to impossible for rookies to negotiate a salary. Which means wages are predetermined and we know the round about number of what all the former Wolverines will make during their first contact year.

All rookie contracts are four-year deals, but first-round picks have a four-year deal with a fifth-year option that could be accepted.

Here’s the projected salaries of all the Michigan football players that were selected in the 2024 NFL Draft. The numbers came from Over The Cap.
