In the contract negotiations between Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears, there is probably a clause that will definitely not be added to the contract
As “NBC Sports” reports, Caleb Williams reportedly approached the Chicago Bears during contract negotiations with a request to remove the franchise tag.
According to the report, the Bears turned down the quarterback’s request.
Although several experienced players in the NFL, such as Dak Prescott, have received such a commitment from their franchise, no rookie has been able to secure this clause.
The optimal time to be successful with such a proposal on the part of the player would probably have been before the draft anyway.
He could have made it a concrete condition for interested teams to drop the franchise tag in his contract or not want to play for them. Williams could have set a precedent that would have benefited many future rookies.
Williams, who was drafted as the No. 1 pick in the first round, recently signed a four-year rookie contract with the Bears.
He will receive a total of 39.49 million US dollars. He received 25.5 million US dollars as a signing bonus.
