Just heard on ESPN that Chris Williams signed 5 years 16 million dollar deal in Chicago. This is going to help in getting Clady in.

BOURBONNAIS, Ill. (AP)—The Chicago Bears (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/teams/chi/;_ylt=ApXWVYDgeNvovBW9rzGSV8IdsLYF) and first-round pick Chris Williams (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/8791/;_ylt=AuLkpQw8fLUXmc5L4pqM0kMdsLYF) agreed to a five-year contract Wednesday on the first day of training camp.
Williams, an offensive tackle from Vanderbilt, was the No. 14 choice overall. The Bears announced the deal two hours before their first practice. Financial details were not disclosed.
The Bears have signed all of their draft choices.
The 6-foot-6, 312-pound Williams is expected to be the Bears’ left tackle with John Tait (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/4662/;_ylt=AvVv0m_TVSMrkWEU7kKd_hkdsLYF) moving from the left side to the right.
Williams appeared in 36 games at left tackle and left guard while at Vanderbilt, finishing his college career with 33 consecutive starts. He was chosen first team all-Southeastern Conference as a senior

It's slotted. They'll get him in. If they are late, it will be sometime the middle of the day Friday at the latest. We're never late with picks unless they're boobs like Tatum Bell's agent.

The Chicago Bears signed first-round draft pick Chris Williams on Wednesday to a five-year worth $16 million, including $10 million in guarantees, NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports.
Williams, an offensive tackle out of Vanderbilt, was the 14th overall selection in the 2008 NFL Draft. The team announced the deal two hours before the opening of Wednesday’s first training camp practice.
The Bears now have all 12 of their draft picks signed.
Williams is expected to begin training camp behind veteran John St. Clair on the depth chart at left tackle, according to the team's official Web site. Veteran left tackle John Tait is moving to the right side.
Williams appeared in 36 games at left tackle and left guard while at Vanderbilt, finishing his college career with 33 consecutive starts. He received first team all-SEC honors as a senior and second team all-SEC accolades as a junior.
The two-time recipient of Vanderbilt’s Most Valuable Offensive Lineman award surrendered just two sacks over his final two seasons as a Commodore.

It's crazy a draft pick's contract is 60% guaranteed money. That 'guaranteed' must include roster bonuses down the line.
