On Friday the Chicago Bears officially signed their first round pick, outside linebacker Leonard Floyd out of Georgia. The Bears inked Floyd to a 4-year deal worth roughly $15.78MM which includes a signing bonus of $9.68MM. Since Floyd was a first round pick the Bears will have the option to add a fifth year to the deal.
In order to draft Floyd the Bears had to move up from the eleventh overall pick to the ninth by trading with the Tampa Bay Bucs, offering the highest of their three fourth round picks to move up two spots and draft Floyd.
