What is NOT included in a rookie deal?

In the context of a rookie deal, a roster bonus is typically not included as a standard component of the contract. Rookie deals tend to consist of key elements like a signing bonus, which is a lump sum payment made when the player signs the contract, and various bonuses related to participation and workouts.

The off-season workout bonus is specifically designed to incentivize players to participate in off-season training programs, while workout bonuses can be earned by reporting to necessary workouts, further encouraging player involvement in team activities.

A roster bonus, on the other hand, is often considered an additional financial incentive is contingent on a player being on the roster at a certain point in time, but it is not a guaranteed part of the rookie contract. Roster bonuses are more commonly seen in veteran contracts rather than in the fixed structure of rookie deals.
