Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze, the Bears' top picks in the 2024 NFL Draft, have not signed their rookie contracts yet, but it's normal for deals to take time. Only two of the top 10 picks have signed so far. Rookie contracts have specific rules and limitations based on draft position. Williams is projected to sign for $39.4 million, while Odunze is expected to sign for $22.7 million.
Rookies can negotiate guaranteed money and performance incentives, but both Williams and Odunze are likely to have fully guaranteed contracts. The Bears have until training camp in mid-July to finalize their deals.
