adam Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Every year it amazes me how many rookies go unsigned into camp, and sometimes into the season. Looking at this year's list, there were a bunch of players that could've ended up on the Bears. Guys like Blackmon (if we traded up), Kendall Wright, DeCastro, and Poe from the first round come to mind. Some others like DeVier Posey and Trumaine Johnson from later rounds are also unsigned. What could you possibly be holding out for? You are basically slotted, and unless the team is under-cutting the slot, these should be easy deals. I love that fact that the Bears are great at getting rookie players to sign, sometimes the entire rookie class signs before some other teams sign even one of their rookies.

balta1701-A Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 Some of the reason why these guys stay unsigned is that the orgs want to push them to sign more team-friendly deals. The Bears seemingly prefer to get them signed, and if it costs them a little more then that's something they're willing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TerraTor Posted July 29, 2012 Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 How does this not get done? The rookie salaries are already in place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted July 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2012 The only 2 first rounders who are unsigned are Blackmon and Wright. Yeah, DeCastro signed a few days ago, and Poe on Thursday. Criner, a later round pick that was a possibility signed today I believe. It just surprises me how long these guys wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Blackmon I'm sure they're pushing to get some additional guarantees if he winds up having another substance abuse th ing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
