With the post-June 1st release of Charles Leno Jr. getting his salary off the books, the Chicago Bears have the necessary money to sign their entire 2021 NFL Draft class, and they wasted no time in getting on that by inking all of their day three draft picks on June 2.
It’s now being reported that they have their first round QB Justin Fields locked up on a standard 4-year deal with a 5th-year team option. Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network had it first, and he has the numbers like this; 4-years, $18,871,952 total, with a signing bonus of $11,085,056.
