Bears break the seal on first round, signing 14th pick Kyle Fuller. Will be roughly $9.6M over 5 yrs, $5.36M of it in signing bonus.

That's a bit of proof that the NFL absolutely got what they wanted in the last CBA. Holdouts cost a lot to the players. There's practically no room for negotiation or agent spin.

That said, I still wonder why teams are choosing to sign them so early. Aren't they on the hook if a freak accident happens? or are there waivers in there for that too?
Its mid May.
