Anybody know how much FAs like Thomas or Bandy stand to make even if they don't make a team? Anything?

Depends on the team needs and how bad they want the player. Some of these UDFA have several offers and the teams know it...so they will give them $30k or more signing bonus. That is money on their pocket no matter what happens.
Now if the the team is just throwin a bone out there and know other teams arent offering, they will give a signing bonus of $1500 to 5k
 
Depends on the player. Some get guaranteed money while others get contracts with money that will be given with requirements.
 
Another cautionary tale for young players with talent...use it and keep your head in the game, drop the attitude if you want to make that $$$

Saw where some OL signed with someone and got 80K signing bonus.The saints just gave s kid 45 to sign.I guess it depends on who and how bad they want you but there doesn’t seem to be any kind of scale to go by.
 
About $8,000 a week for the taxi squad. About $140,000 for a full season.
$500,000 + minimum salary if you make the team.

Average signing bonus last year for UDFA was $6,578, obviously some guys are getting nothing and some are getting a signing bonus and part of their salary guaranteed as well. This year the rookie minimum salary is $610k and the practice squad salary is $8400/week
