Luther Burden Is The Last Unsigned Bears Rookie (And Why It’s Concerning)

The Chicago Bears were in a deadlock for the past several weeks, trying to secure their draft class to a new contract. Things were going smoothly. First round pick Colston Loveland signed pretty quickly. Everybody selected in the 4th round and later jumped on board as well. The problems surfaced with their three 2nd round picks: Luther Burden, Ozzy Trapilo, and Shemar Turner. They became entangled in a league-wide contract standoff after the Houston Texans fully guaranteed the deal for 34th overall pick Jayden Higgins.
