Just as a general rule of thumb, it seems like the majority of contracts are 4 years, with a few teams using a 3 year deal. Salaries are generally the league minimum I believe, although i think the NFLPA site has more data. If you'll notice, roughly 1.8m/4 years would be the base salary, so like 85% of contracts seem to be 1.8m plus the signing bonus. the first 15 picks of the 2nd round got a bit more money of course. Anyways, I'm sure this is enough data to get what you need, there's basically no reason to sweat exact details on 4th rounders.
