Dan Skuta former Cincinnati

Bengals Player
What is an Undrafted Free Agent?
Former Jacksonville Jaguars linebacker who also spent

four seasons playing for the Cincinnati Bengals, Dan

Skuta, began his career in the NFL as an undrafted free

agent (UDFA).
Former Cincinnati Bengals player, Daniel Skuta, explains

that undrafted free agents are often in high demand just

as soon as the last draft pick is made.

It is no surprise that NFL teams are always in search of

the next “diamond in the rough,” trying to take

advantage of talent that was perhaps overlooked or

ignored during the pre- and mid-draft process.

As soon as the draft is complete, NFL teams are given

the go-ahead to seek out and sign as many undrafted

free agents as they wish; players who are subject to

the same wage scale as draft picks (around $465,000).
