I dont think they get anything. They already have a contract. I think it just helps them get re-signed.
Michael Vick signed a 118 million dollar contract.
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.
A player can be a free agent at anytime in the NFL. When a players contract is up and the team he plays for does not sign him, he will become a free agent.

Eli Manning has just signed a new contract worth an average of $ 16.3 million per year.
Once an NFL player is waived, their contract becomes dead money in their salary cap. It means they lose that money for the rest of the contract and can't spend it on another player.
yes Vick signed with the steelers
It is very unlikely for a reserve future player to play.

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.

They sign a contract with the team they're playing for.
No, a player does not have to sign with the NFL team that drafted him. He can choose to not sign the contract.
Some players do get signed to NFL teams but not most make it past the practice squad. Playing semi pro doesn't automatically get you a contract with a NFL team. Chances of signing on is 1 out of 10 and that is glorifying the chances of getting signed.
