Former UVA Football QB Chandler Morris, rebuffed in his effort to get a seventh year of college eligibility by a local judge last month, has signed a free-agent contract with the NFL’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Safe to say, he won’t get anywhere near the $1.5 million that he was paid last season at Virginia, even if he were to make the team out of camp.
The NFL rookie minimum is $885,000.
That’s, of course, if you make the team.
A free-agent deal is just an invite to mini-camp.
