The Bears were not first out of the gates to sign a draft pick this year but that doesn't mean they do not have a chance to be the first one to the finish line. The Bears announced the signing of five of their 12 draft picks last year on May 30. Sources say contract negotiator Cliff Stein's goal is to have this year's picks finalized by mid-June, which gives him about three weeks to reach his unofficial goal. Source: Chicago Sun-Times
