The Bears told the NFL that they were not talking to any third parties, a league spokesperson told Pro Football Talk, leading the outlet to believe Willams’ lawyers were not NFLPA certified .

Whatever the issue, it’s now in the rearview, with the Bears finally getting to work with the USC product, long hailed as a transformational quarterback who can change the franchise’s fortunes.

Williams will be joined at Halas Hall by wide receiver Rome Odunze, who also signed his rookie deal Tuesday, a four-year $22.7 million pact, which includes a $13.3 million signing bonus.
