New Orleans edge rusher Carl Granderson and Dallas offensive lineman Terence Steele joined a short list of undrafted players to get contracts with at least $30 million guaranteed. Both signed earlier this season. Granderson and Steele aren't saying if they splurged after defying the odds and earning a big payday.

Tampa Bay's Shaquil Barrett took a slightly different route to riches with the Bucs.
