The Chicago Bears are facing a significant contract standoff with several second-round rookies as training camp approaches. With the July 22 signing deadline looming, the lack of progress in signing rookie deals has raised concerns among the team and its fans. Notably, over half of the second-round picks remain unsigned, which includes essential players like offensive lineman Ozzy Trapilo, wide receiver Luther Burden III, and defensive lineman Shemar Turner.

All three rookies are projected to make immediate contributions to the Bears' roster, highlighting the urgency of resolving their contracts. Their absence during training camp could hinder the team's preparations and development. Agents for these players are reportedly taking a firmer stance in negotiations, potentially complicating the signing process further.
