So if healthy, they should all be there.įor more on Sewell, you can check out our story from draft day, and more on Smith can be found in our story here. With some feedback and info from a couple of team-employed NFL scouts and an active player agent, here is an early listing and my preliminary ranking for the wide receivers in the NFL draft class. The Bears will hold their rookie minicamp tomorrow and Saturday, and even if the other rookies aren’t signed the league has insurance measures in place to allow the unsigned draft picks to participate.
Smith’s deal checks in at $4.115 million with a $275,884 signing bonus. Įach will receive the standard 4-year rookie contract, with Sewell making slightly more ($4.164 million and a $324,948 signing bonus) since he was drafted earlier in the fifth. Update: It’s official, the team has announced these two signings and the signing of the two seventh-round picks too. The rookie wage scale makes these signings a bit easier but teams still need to get pen to paper. Contract: 1 year, 3 million (7.5 million total with bonus) Going into training camp, the Bears realized they weren’t confident in their offensive line and made a late move to sign tackle Riley. Its free in which is bonus just a pity there was no where to get tea or coffee. On Thursday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson from KPRC in Houston was the first to report that the Chicago Bears have signed linebacker Noah Sewell and cornerback Terell Smith, both of their fifth-round draft picks.
