[CBFF] CT - Bears sign 2 more draft picks; 2 left

[Jerry Madsen]

I'm surpised we haven't talked much about the Bears signing of picks.
Unless I'm mistaken, the Bears have signed more picks (or a higher
percentage) than any other team at this point.

Granted, we don't have to sign a first rounder, but this ain't your
daddy's Chicago Bears.

Five of the seven Bears draft picks are in the fold after
cornerback/return specialist Devin Hester and linebacker Jamar
Williams signed contracts Sunday.

Hester, one of two second-round picks, received a signing bonus near
$1.3 million. He will be counted on to contribute immediately to
improve the return game.

Williams, a fourth-round pick, netted a $415,000 signing bonus. He
could serve as insurance if the Bears lose Lance Briggs after this
season.

Only safety Danieal Manning and defensive tackle Dusty Dvoracek remain
unsigned, although both aren't expected to be holdouts when the Bears
report to training camp July 26.
