Due to His NFL Draft Mishap, Shedeur Sanders Is Losing Out on Millions of Dollars

In the NFL Draft, Shedeur Sanders was not chosen in the second or third round. Sanders has completely dropped out of the top three rounds of the draft after being passed over on the first day.

Sanders was predicted to be a top pick in the NFL Draft for months. But as the draft drew nearer, his stock gradually began to decline.

Sanders was predicted to be selected around No. 20 by draft day. Sanders, however, entered day two expecting to discover his next squad because his name was never called. Sanders didn’t have any better news on day two, either, as teams kept passing on him.

How much money would Shedeur Sanders lose now?

Sanders’ rookie deal costs him more and more money with every draft round. Additionally, his next team will no longer be able to add a fifth-year option to his rookie deal.

Depending on where he is selected in the fourth round, Sanders’ rookie contract will pay him between $4 and $5 million. $4.3 million is the lowest priced rookie contract available in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Sanders would have earned more than $45 million if he had been selected among the top three picks. He would still have received $18 million if he had been chosen in the first round, around No. 20, as anticipated.

If Sanders had been playing collegiate football at this time, his NIL deals would have brought in more money. However, since he is no longer eligible to attend college, he will keep waiting for an NFL team to consider him.
