Cowboys Rookie Contracts Reveal Surprising Detail

FRISCO - To end rookie minicamp, the Dallas Cowboys have announced the signing of various un-drafted free agents who will compete for a spot on the official training camp roster this summer.

Here are how the contract bonuses and guarantees have been handed out:

Alijah Clark, DB Syracuse: $25k bonus, $234k guarantee

Justin Barron, LB Syracuse: $20k bonus, $234k guarantee

Mike Smith, DB Eastern Kentucky: $15k bonus, $175k guarantee

Rivaldo Fairweather, TE Auburn: $15k bonus, $150k guarantee

Zion Childress, DB Kentucky: $10k bonus, $125k guarantee

Tyler Neville, TE Virginia: $10k bonus, $60k guarantee

Josh Kelly, WR Texas Tech: $7.5k bonus, $100k guarantee

Bruce Harmon, DB Stephen F. Austin: $5k bonus, $35k guarantee

Traeshon Holden, WR Oregon: $3k bonus, no guarantee

If these players were to not make the 53-man roster for the regular season, the guarantee practice squad salary is $234,000.

The most surprising detail? Traeshon Holden's number ... or lack thereof.

Fans online are up in arms about Holden's lack of guarantee money:

"No guarantee for Holden??!! That's crazy"

"What's the deal with Holden, his deal sucks? I can't believe he couldn't have gotten a better deal somewhere else"

"They did Holden bad"

However, there could be an explanation for the Cowboys issuing the Oregon receiver his due.

As one fan points out: "Something tells me Holden will earn more money because of his play."

Another mentions that if Holden scores just twice in the preseason, he may already have a spot on the team.

The Cowboys are obviously lacking at receiver depth, and there has been a lot of potential excitement around the un-drafted Holden since he agreed to terms with Dallas.

He has also already stated his excitement level for the summer saying:

“I’m coming for guys’ heads."

This comes after he initially felt "disrespected" that teams passed on him in the NFL Draft.

Now these contract numbers will likely add fuel to the fire as he - and the rest of the Cowboys' rookies - work to prove doubters wrong.
