Even though Caleb Williams and Rome Odunze haven't signed, it shouldn't increase concern over a possible holdout, but check back in a week.
It's one week until Bears rookies report for training camp and their top two rookies remain unsigned.
The two are among seven draft picks still unsigned as of Tuesday, including five first-rounders. Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy and edge rusher Dallas Turner , and Bengals tackle Amarius Mims are the other unsigne first-rounders. The fact Williams is unsigned will naturally lead to angst by some over the predraft discussion about him. His father might be running the show and making demands, it was rumored, or he's representing himself so it's going to be a problem.The other reason why Williams' unsigned status should surprise no one is four of the last five No. 1 overall picks who were quarterbacks went into July before signing.
