Basham is expected to sign a four-year, $5,624,943 contract that includes a $1,450,867 signing bonus.
During his college career at Wake Forest, Basham recorded 173 tackles, 20.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, and eight pass deflections.
Gonzalez, 24, wound up going undrafted out of Penn State back in 2020. He later agreed to a rookie contract with the Cardinals, but was waived coming out of training camp.
Gonzalez, unfortunately, sat out the 2020 season.
During his four-year career at Penn State, Gonzalez played in 50 games, most of which coming at left guard.
Anderson, 22, was drafted by the Bills in the seventh round out of Texas Tech in the 2021 NFL Draft. He is expected to sign a four-year rookie contract worth $3,583,742 that also includes a $103,742 signing bonus.
During his four-year college career, Anderson started all 38 games he played in at right guard for Texas Tech. He was a freshman All-American and twice named to the All-Big 12 team.
Wildgoose, 20, is a three-year starter at Wisconsin but suffered a shoulder injury two games into his final season and opted out of the last four games of 2020.
He’s projected to sign a four-year, $3,636,244 rookie contract including a $156,244 signing bonus.
During his college career, Wildgoose appeared in 25 games and started 17 times, recording 44 tackles, five tackles for loss, one interception, and 15 pass defenses.
