00:00What was expected is now done as the Bears send the rookies to training camp.
00:08There are two first-round picks. First overall, Caleb Williams. Ninth overall,
00:13Roma Dunze. They have finally signed the dotted line. It was a little bit murky.
00:17They were unsigned entering the opening day of training camp yesterday, but
00:21Caleb Williams, that four-year fully guaranteed contract worth $39 million
00:26that includes a $25.5 million signing bonus. Caleb Williams is
00:32officially signed. He is the face of the franchise in the Windy City.
00:37Yeah, the fine print and sometimes that's what it just comes down to where you're
00:39arguing over like that fourth or fifth season. If I'm a really bad quarterback
00:43and you get rid of me, are all my guarantees going to be in line? So that's
00:47probably just waiting for the lawyers to get back out of it. We didn't anticipate
00:50us or them having any issues here. In the past, this is what that slotted system in
00:54the NFL is now doing in round number one. You know exactly what you're
00:58supposed to make here. There's very few details that have to be ironed out as
01:01opposed to in the past. Hey, I'm gonna ask for $300 million in a
01:04guaranteed contract. Then it could get a little bit tricky at that point, but we
01:07expect them to be in camp. He's in camp. No more restrictions on, oh, I wonder if
01:11he's gonna show up. He's there. It's ready to go for the Bears. Same thing
01:13with Roma Dunze. Get that out of the way. Get to training camp. Get to work.
