The 2016 NFL Draft is in the books and another heated period of the NFL talent acquisition process is spinning up. Undrafted rookie free agency is a wild ride that follows the seventh round of the NFL Draft every year, as dozens of players not fortunate enough to be picked field contract offers from the league's 32 teams, with both sides hunting for a perfect match.

There's obviously some stigma to going undrafted for college players, but becoming an undrafted free agent does put some of the power back in those players' hands: instead of being at the mercy of the draft process, players can now choose their own entry point into the NFL, to some degree. Coveted UDFAs often even weigh offers from multiple teams against each other, and teams that didn't have picks to spend on players late in the draft can now entice them with bonuses paid out of a modest undrafted free agent budget every NFL team has available during the process.

There are usually at least a few good players available as UDFAs. For example, in 2015, the Cowboys landed undrafted LSU offensive lineman La'el Collins, whose stock plummeted during the draft, with teams staying away from him after the shooting death of his pregnant ex-girlfriend led him to leave Chicago to speak with police in Baton Rouge. By October, Collins was starting on one of the NFL's best offensive lines.

Undrafted free agency can also be a boon for players who got passed up at their customary position. Florida wide receiver Quinton Dunbar went undrafted in 2015, but signed with Washington, with the team intending to work him out at both wide receiver and cornerback. And after a rash of injuries, by the time Washington met the Packers in the playoffs, Dunbar was in the rotation in the team's secondary.

Of course, those small success stories pale in comparison to the legendary ones of undrafted free agents turned Hall of Famers. Arian Foster, Priest Holmes, Rod Smith, Kurt Warner and Wes Welker are among the more recent players passed up in the draft who ended up having long and storied NFL careers, though Dick "Night Train" Lane, Warren Moon and John Randle, all Hall of Famers, remain the gold standard for UDFAs.

2016's crop of undrafted free agents could mint a few stars, too. We'll be keeping track of every UDFA signing a contract on this page (though keep in mind these things frequently change on the fly as players agree to deals)
