The Chicago Bears have secured their top two 2024 NFL Draft picks, quarterback Caleb Williams and wide receiver Rome Odunze, with fully guaranteed contracts. Caleb Williams, the No. 1 overall pick and 2022 Heisman Trophy winner, signed a four-year deal worth $39.5 million, including a $25.5 million signing bonus. Rome Odunze, selected ninth overall, agreed to a four-year, $22.7 million contract with a $13.3 million signing bonus.
