Overview

• Jonah Savaiinaea agreed to a four-year rookie contract that is 100 percent guaranteed under the 2025 wage scale.
• The deal, worth just over $11.3 million, makes him the first No. 37 overall pick and the fifth second-round draftee in NFL history to secure full guarantees.
• Savaiinaea’s signing completes Miami’s entire rookie roster and ensures his participation in training camp opening next week.
• His holdout mirrored a leaguewide movement by second-round selections seeking full guarantees after the Texans set a precedent with Jayden Higgins.
• Teams are now facing increased leverage from mid-round rookies who previously accepted partial guarantees on their initial contracts.
