 Windy City Gridiron :: William's Contract/Low?
Another reality we've noticed in pondering the contract recently signed by Bears fourth-round linebacker Jamar Williams is that his bonus money is actually lower than the bonus paid to the player taken in the same slot in 2005.
Naysayers might say that it's not fair to compare Williams' deal to Ghiaciuc's, since Ghiacuic was the 18th pick in round four last year and Williams was the 23rd pick in round four this year.
And although Williams will make up some of the difference via a rookie minimum salary that bumped from $230,000 to $275,000, the $40,000 increases in the minimums pushed up the current salaries of last year's draft picks, too.
