    The Chicago Bears and Caleb Williams finally got everything ironed out. A day after Williams was all over the NFL news for remaining unsigned and without an agent, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft signed his rookie contract.

    Williams signed the four-year deal with the fifth-year team option that is commensurate with his draft slot. It’s worth $39 million and includes a $25.5 million signing bonus. Williams, from USC, is expected to start at quarterback right away as the top pick in the draft.

    The Bears also signed their other first-round pick, wide receiver Rome Odunze, who had also remained unsigned as players reported to Chicago’s training camp.
