    Wide receiver Rome Odunze signed his four-year rookie contract with the Chicago Bears on Tuesday.

    All contracts involving first-round selections include a fifth-year team option. He will receive approximately $22.7 million fully guaranteed and a $13.3 million signing bonus, per Spotrac.

    Odunze was selected by the Bears with the ninth overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft out of Washington. He is set to join Keenan Allen and D.J. Moore atop Chicago's wide receiver ranks.

    Odunze, 22, recorded 92 receptions for 1,640 yards and 13 touchdowns in his final season with the Huskies. His yardage total led all FBS receivers and were the most in school history as Washington finished runner-up in the College Football Playoff after losing to Michigan in the national title game.

    In four seasons at Washington, Odunze had 214 receptions for 3,272 yards and 24 touchdowns.
