The rookie wage scale makes draft pick signings a pretty simple affair, but there are occasionally delays due to 1st round picks negotiating offsets and 3rd round picks negotiating signing bonuses. Washington’s 3rd round pick Benjamin St-Juste got the max bonus in his contract.
Washington third-round pick Benjamin St-Juste signed his rookie deal and maxed out as a third-rounder. Got $551,118 above the minimum.

Washington will hold their rookie mini-camp starting tomorrow. They were planning on hosting the NFL limit of 5 tryout players, but one of them tested positive for COVID-19. Now the players attending will be limited to the team's 10 draft picks, UDFA RB Jaret Patterson, and 5 other eligible players (QB Steven Montez, TE Sammis Reyes, DL David Bada, OT Rick Leonard, and DT Daniel Wise). Two players that were drafted by the CFL this year (CB Nelson Lokombo, DL Logan Bandy) will miss their opportunity.
