What's the money difference being drafted in 7th round vs. the UDFA deal he woulda gotten from Carolina?

This is a cool story and I'm sure they really like him but this was before they signed Winston so unfortunately I think they'll be forced to cut TS. The Jameis deal is just way too good to pass up.

The article says Carolina offered $15k signing bonus. From this link it says 7th round signing bonuses range $75 - $110k.

That's really the only guaranteed money he'll make. I think a draft pick is also guaranteed to be in training camp & better chance at making the practice squad, versus an UDFA can be cut anytime.
