What's even more impressive are those who got little or no guaranteed money and still made 53s:
Ravens QB Joe Fagnano: $0
Chiefs T Kahlil Benson: $0
Patriots LB Khalil Jacobs: $0
Dolphins FB D.J. Herman: $0
Bucs LB Caden Fordham: $2,000
Commanders K Drew Stevens: $2,500
Chargers CB Rodney Shelley: $5,000
Chargers C Jacob Spomer: $10,000
Giants LS Ben Mann: $10,000
