Fifth and Seventh-Rounders Signed

The Bears have gone straight to work signing draft picks in advance of Friday's start to rookie minicamp and announced four had already completed their paperwork.

Fifth-round linebacker Noah Sewell and cornerback Terell Smith and seventh-round defensive lineman Travis Bell and safety Kendall Williamson were the first drafted players to sign their four-year rookie deals.

The team also officially announced the signings of 14 undrafted free agents and has invited a group of 27 undrafted players in for tryouts on the weekend during the rookie minicamp, including Florida Atlanta quarterback N'Kosi Perry. They'll also have three veterans invited to the camp for tryouts including the brother of newly signed linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, fullback Trey Edmunds.
