The negotiations shouldn’t create any fear that Williams might report late to training camp in July, but questions about his contract are natural for a player going his own route with a trusted group of advisers and not with an agent who could communicate on his behalf with the team. “I’ve been focused on these past three days of minicamp, the OTAs before that and rookie camp before that,” Williams said after the team’s three-day minicamp concluded Thursday afternoon at Halas Hall. “I haven’t been focused on that. (General manager Ryan) Poles and my team has been focused on that. I have lawyers and attorneys to handle things like that so that I can be free-minded on the field, enjoying coming into work every day to work my tail off.” Williams is expected to be back at work on the field next week. While veterans began their summer break as minicamp wrapped up, rookies will have three days of OTAs on Monday through Wednesday in what coach Matt Eberflus described as sort of a quarterback camp.
As of Thursday morning, 17 of the league’s 32 first-round picks had signed contracts, including four of the top-10 selections. New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, chosen No. 3, is the highest-drafted player to sign. Like Williams, Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels (No. 2) also doesn’t have a deal.
