Undrafted NFL Free Agents 2017: Latest Details on the Biggest Signings
After three long days in Philadelphia, the 2017 NFL draft is finally over. The draft process, however, still has some time remaining to be sorted out.
Within seconds of Chad Kelly's selection as the latest Mr. Irrelevant, teams were working the phones trying to get deals in place with the top available undrafted free agents.
Despite the seemingly never-ending predraft process and millions of dollars paid to scouts and general managers, players still slip through the cracks. Tony Romo just ended a borderline Hall of Fame career after being unselected out of Eastern Illinois, and the ageless James Harrison and Antonio Gates never heard their names called on draft day, either.
