It was widely reported Tuesday that Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears agreed to the quarterback's rookie deal, but he reportedly hasn't signed the contract just yet.
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported Wednesday that negotiations are still ongoing for a deal that is "essentially done" and will not give the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 NFL draft "anything above and beyond what first-round rookies typically get."
Florio explained that part of the issue is the lawyer representing the signal-caller "lacks the knowledge and experience that comes from being a full-time agent" as the two sides go over the final language of the contract.
