On Monday night the Chicago Tribune’s Dan Wiederer reported that the Chicago Bears were finalizing a contract with rookie second-round pick Jaquan Brisker, thus ensuring that he’ll be able to report to camp with his veteran teammates on Tuesday, July 26th.
Chicago’s rookies all reported to Halas Hall on July 23rd and Brisker was their lone draft pick left unsigned. The contract hold up was reported to be some guaranteed money in the third year of his standard four-year rookie deal. While the league’s rookie wage scale eliminates most haggling over contacts, there is some wiggle room on the structure of the deals.
