The month is winding down and the Bears still haven't signed their two first-round draft picks, ninth overall selection Rome Odunze and No. 1 Caleb Williams.
As of Memorial Day, a dozen of the 32 first-round picks have signed but none of the three quarterbacks taken with the first three picks. In all, three of the first 10 picks have signed including No. 3 Marvin Harrison Jr. with Arizona, No. 6 Malik Nabers with the Giants and tackle JC Latham at No. 7 with the Titans. All of the picks taken from No. 11 through No. 16 have also signed.It's not unusual for either the first or ninth pick to be unsigned at this point in the offseason, especially the first pick. Odunze and Williams are the only two unsigned Bears picks.
The Bears haven't had a first-round holdout since Roquan Smith in 2018 and that one lasted until just before the last preseason game but wasn't about cash. The 2011 collective bargaining agreement established pay slots and made holdouts unusual.1. Caleb Williams: 3,532 yards 23 TDs4.
