Chris Weinke, Florida State quarterback, was 28 years old when drafted in the 4th round of the NFL draft in April of 2001. As as side note, he is also the oldest player to win the Heisman Trophy.
I guess I must be getting old because I can't find this information anywhere on the internet. So I will go with what I think is correct and answer with Mike Anderson who was 26 years, 6 months, 25 days old when he was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the 2000 NFL Draft (born September 21, 1973 - drafted April 16, 2000).
George Blanda played for the Oakland Raiders at the age 48. Oldest Player in NFL History. Also the only player to play in 4 different decades
Yes. When a player is drafted during the NFL draft the team that drafted them owns the signing rights. So, if the player refuses to play they will have to wait a year and then get signed as a free agent. If that team doesn't do anything with the signing rights to the player they will not play in the NFL that year. If a player is not drafted they become an 'undrafted free agent' and are immediately available to be picked up by any team.
Brandon Weeden. He was 28 when he was drafted.

The Chicago Bears, who were founded in 1919 and joined the NFL in 1920. The only remaining team from the NFL's first season in 1920 are the Cardinals (the oldest team; founded in 1898)

No, a player does not have to sign with the NFL team that drafted him. He can choose to not sign the contract.

The Arizona Cardinals drafted Boldin.
yes
You have to be drafted by the NFL.
No. A team that drafts a player has one year to sign that player to a contract. If the team cannot sign the player because the player does not want to play for them, the team may trade the player to another team. If a drafted player has not signed a contract within one year of being drafted, that player may enter the draft again and be selected again.
