Typically undrafted free agents don’t get huge sums of money to sign with a team. More money typically means a team believes that UDFA can make an impact. Tom Pelissero of NFL Network posted some of the top UDFA salary guarantees. Among them is Titans OLB Sharif Finch.

The Titans gave Finch $42,000 guaranteed to sign with them out of Temple. Pelissero noted that there’s language in the guarantees that takes that money off the books if the player winds up on another team’s practice squad.

Finch’s big sum from Tennessee indicates they wanted to ensure they could get him in for a look instead of him signing elsewhere.

With uncertainty on the back end of their roster at outside linebacker, an intriguing prospect like Finch could make an impact in preseason workouts.

He’s 6-5, 250 pounds, and coming off an 8.5-sack season for the Owls. A knee injury forced him to redshirt his fourth season. He racked up 144 tackles and 32 tackles-for-loss and 14.0 sacks in his career at Temple.

The money doesn’t guarantee him a spot though. He’ll still need a very strong preseason, and the odds are long for any undrafted free agent. However, the Titans don’t have a ton invested at outside linebacker, and there’s room for a player like Finch to force his way into the conversation if he plays well.
