Second Round Stall? Chicago Bears Sign all but Three of their 2025 Draft Picks.

Colston Loveland, the 10th overall pick , headlined the signings with a fully guaranteed four-year contract worth $26.64 million. While it is now the standard to give first-round picks fully guaranteed contracts, it shows confidence that Loveland's shoulder issues do not concern Ryan Poles. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the rookie contracts are structured.

As mentioned above, all three second-round picks remain unsigned. This could be due to contract language, and all three could sign in the next few days as it's hammered out. However, it is worth noting that the Texans gave out the first fully guaranteed contract to second-round pick Jayden Higgins. That contract may have just reset negotiations for second-round picks across the league.

This will be something to monitor moving forward. It is not out of the realm of possibility that all future second-round picks sign fully guaranteed contracts. How will teams handle this ever-changing landscape of rookie contracts? It is too soon to tell, but seeing how it affects the contract language and cap situations will be interesting.
