Bears sign last two rookies in draft class

The Bears are breaking camp with their entire rookie class signed.

Thursday, Florida defensive tackle Gervon Dexter and former Miami cornerback Tyrique Stevenson signed their four-year rookie contracts. Both were second-round picks in April.

The two participated in all offseason activities even as their agents negotiated the finer points of what has become a fairly standardized contract.

The agreements ensure the Bears won’t have a repeat of last season, when another second-round pick, safety Jaquan Brisker, waited until the the day before training camp began — and after his fellow rookies did — to sign his deal.
