The Chicago Bears have made significant moves by signing their second-round draft picks Luther Burden III, Ozzy Trapilo, and Shemar Turner to rookie contracts. Burden secured a fully guaranteed four-year deal worth $10.965 million, marking a historic first for the 39th overall pick in NFL history. Meanwhile, Trapilo's contract guarantees the first two years and 72% of the third year. Turner's contract details remain undisclosed.

These signings follow delays in contract negotiations for second-round picks, as these players sought fully guaranteed deals similar to their first-round counterparts. The Bears' strategic approach to securing their draft talent reflects a commitment to building a strong team for the upcoming season.
