lemonej Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Stein is freakin awesome at his job. 3 picks signed 3 days after the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scs787 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Not to rain on the Stein parade but after the new CBA was put in place, rookie contracts are mere formalities with bonuses and salaries basically predetermined by draft slot. I don't think we'll see anyone holdout in the whole league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is that this guy has signed his picks quick every even when he was under the old CBA and there will be 3 young players not having to worry about purchasing insurance policies when mini camp opens and will be able to go to the facility now and workout.

I don't think we'll see anyone holdout in the whole league. I think the new CBA structure you mentioned was in use last year? Right? It makes it easier to sign draftees but does not mean there will not be hold outs. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/...e-top-10-picks/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw that quote about the contracts being formalities on rotoworld and thought I'd throw it out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASHKUM BEAR Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 nice! Ego Ferguson also signed...only Fuller and Sutton left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZ54 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 The contracts may be more of a formality in terms of there is a bracket but that hasn't changed the fact that every year many teams don't get players signed until well into the summer, and a few are signed just before camp starts. If it is so easy then why aren't all the other teams signing their players at this rate? What's happened is the Bears now have a solid reputation among all the agents that our contract offers will be fair and we aren't looking to save every nickel. They know they can sign early and that even as other players sign their deal will still be a good one for their player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Stein is crazy good and we will likely have all signed prior to the rookie minicamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
