The Washington Commanders’ rookies reported for training camp on Friday, and second-round draft pick Trey Amos was among them.
The former
Alabama
cornerback was part of the stampede of second-rounders who
signed contracts
this week.
Amos’ signing leaves unsigned only one of the 21 2025 draft picks who played at Alabama high schools and colleges. Former Pike Road running back Quinshon Judkins, a second-round selection from Ohio State, has not signed with the Cleveland Browns, and his situation has been complicated by
his arrest on Sunday
.
Before Wednesday, only two of the 32 second-round draft picks had signed their rookie contracts. After Cleveland linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins became the first second-round selections to sign fully guaranteed contracts, the negotiations for the rest of the second-round deals became protracted.
While each drafted player signs a four-year contract, and the amount of the contract is set by the collective bargaining agreement between the NFL and its players association, the size of the guarantee is a matter for negotiation.
Amos was due a
four-year, $7.28 million contract
, but how much of that is guaranteed has not been reported.
Even though he hadn’t signed his contract, Amos participated in the Commanders’ offseason program.
Since Wednesday, 24 second-round draft picks have signed their contracts.
Amos’ college career included three stops. The cornerback started with three seasons at Louisiana followed by the 2023 campaign at Alabama and concluding at Ole Miss in 2024.
