New York Giants' Cam Skattebo is one of NFL's biggest bargain players
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo is one of the NFL's best bargains given his rookie salary negotiated previously by the NFLPA.

Skattebo was the 105th player selected last year and was signed to a standard rookie four-year deal. His slotted amount was $5. 273 million over four years with a $1,073,040 signing bonus (which is fully guaranteed).
