For all those fathers out there, Happy Fathers' Day.
As far as draft bonuses we now have found out that Xzavion Curry signed for $125,000 which was over $72,000 under slot. My guess from reading the newspaper articles on him is that he was hurt at the end of the year. It would not surprise me if he missed all of 2019 and so took a bonus he could have gotten if he signed in the 11th or lower round.
We also know that Will Brennan took a slot bonus of $163,900 so that was a wash with our pool.
Right now, with Will Bartlett being the only bonus in the top 10 picks that we don't know about, we are $164,700 over our draft budget meaning we will have to pay a penalty on that. However, we still have over $145,000 of excess bonus money left before we would lose a draft pick next year.
A little (per reports) of that excess is going to Hernandez (11th round pick). If it is $25,000 excess we may still have over $100,000 to add on to the $125,000 slot values of guys picked after the 10th round unless Bartlett signed for over slot.
NOTE: If Bartlett fails to sign with us we are still OK. We just lose the ability to use $150,000 of our bonus pool which would be OK.
