The fine folks at Sportrac have detailed each and every rookie contract for picks taken in the 2026 NFL Draft. With Cisse's No. 51 pick, he will earn a four-year contract worth up to a total value of $9,365,008. His signing bonus is a cool $3,270,915.Â
For the likes of first-round overall pick Fernando Mendoza and early first-round picks, rookie contracts are anywhere from $57 million to just over $16 million for the last pick of the first round, running back Jadarian Price with the Seahawks.  Â
Brandon CIsse getting NFL Draft call from Green Bay Packers is a must-see moment
With Cisse's contract, he will certainly be one of the highest-paid Gamecocks in this year's draft class. Cisse was the first and only Gamecock taken in Day 2 of the draft, which included rounds two and three. The very first picks in the fourth round are valued around $5.5 million. Â
