The NFL Draft concluded over a week ago and many teams added pieces that they feel will be paramount to their success in both 2023 and beyond. Contracts are handed out to these players following their selections. The draft itself doesn't cement each prospect as a member of the team they were selected to as they still have to sign a contract.
Those happen over time before the season begins. As of now, only one first-round pick has signed and that would be Jalen Carter. The Philadelphia Eagles were thrilled that he fell all the way to ninth overall and moved up one slot to take him.
They followed that up by immediately signing him to a four-year, $21.8 million deal on May 4. Clearly, Howie Roseman and company really like this prospect.

Ironically enough, other rookies have signed long before many first-round picks. The New York Giants signed seventh-round pick Jordon Riley. The Carolina Panthers signed fifth-round pick Jammie Robinson. Sixth-round New England Patriots pick Kayshon Boutte signed, too.
The Eagles have also officially signed sixth-round NFL draft pick quarterback Tanner McKee and seventh-round draft pick defensive lineman Moro Ojomo to their rookie deals.
The Green Bay Packers have officially signed Colby Wooden, Sean Clifford, Dontayvion Wicks, Karl Brooks, Anders Carlson, Carrington Valentine, RB Lew Nichols and Anthony Johnson Jr. of their draft picks, too.
Chicago has been busy signing linebacker Noah Sewell, cornerback Terell Smith, defensive tackle Travis Bell and safety Kendall Williamson to their NFL Draft rookie contracts.
