The Chicago Bears have begun to finalize contracts for their NFL Draft class.

What we know:

After somewhat of a contract standoff with 30 of the 32 second-round selections, the Bears have reportedly come to terms with two of their three second-round selections. 

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Bears first agreed to terms with second-round pick and defensive tackle Shemar Turner.

Turner, one of three second-rounders the Bears needed to sign before training camp opens next week, agreed to a four-year deal, Rapoport said. The Bears selected Turner with the No. 62 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. 

Shortly after, the Bears also reportedly agreed to terms with offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo according to Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer.

According to Breer, Trapilo has agreed to a four-year deal with the first two years fully guaranteed. His third year has 72 percent of the money guaranteed. Trapilo will be in the mix to start at left tackle for the Bears this training camp.

Now, only the No. 38 overall pick and wide receiver Luther Burden remains unsigned.

The backstory:

There's been a reason for the lack of second-round signings.

Carson Schwesinger, the No. 33 overall pick by the Cleveland Browns, and Jayden Higgins, the No. 34 overall pick by the Houston Texans, both signed fully guaranteed contracts with their respective teams. This is a first under the newest NFL collective bargaining agreement, and it's led to other second-rounders asking for similar deals, leading to a standoff.

A big domino fell Wednesday evening when Alfred Collins, the No. 43 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, agreed to a four-year, $10.3 million deal with the 49ers. The deal included over $9 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. That agreement, Schefter reported, was expected to be the precedent for other second-round contracts, which is now the case as Turner's camp came to terms with the Bears less than 24-hours later.
