UVA Football: Morris, Taylor among 10 ‘Hoos signing NFL rookie deals

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.
