CHICAGO — Chicago Bears second-round draft picks Shemar Turner and Ozzy Trapilo have agreed to four-year rookie contracts, sources confirmed to the Tribune on Thursday. The news comes two days before Bears rookies report for training camp at Halas Hall.
Entering this week, Turner and Trapilo were two of 30 second-round picks who had yet to sign rookie contracts. Fellow Bears second-rounder Luther Burden III remained unsigned as of Thursday afternoon.
Drafted NFL rookies don’t have much say in how much money they will make. Their salaries are slotted based upon where they were selected. They can, however, negotiate certain aspects of a contract.
