Sports Business 101: What kind of Contracts of did the 2010 Chicago Bears draftees sign?


 

Sure the Chicago Bears had but five draft picks in the 2010 NFL draft. They had just those five picks because their front office has made a habit of trading high round draft picks away. There first pick came in 2010 came in the third round, and while they have traded many picks away their front office has done something that has never been done before.

They were able to get all five of their draft picks to sign their contracts before the start of June. That is a very good thing for this team moving forward; as they are assured their draftees will be in training camp on time.

With that being said here is a quick look at the contracts the five Bears draftees signed:
 

Round Pick Player Position College Contract
Three 75th overall Major Wright S Florida 4 years, 2.638 million
Four 109th overall Corey Wootton DE Northwestern 4 years, 2.297 million
Five 141st overall Joshua Moore CB Kansas State 4 years
Six 181st overall Dan Lefevour QB Central Michigan 4 years, 1.98 million
Seven 218th overall J'Marcus Webb OT W Texas A&M 4 years
