Bears Sign First-Round OLB Leonard Floyd To A Four-Year Deal

The Chicago Bears announced Friday that theyโ€™ve agreed to terms with first-round OLB Leonard Floyd.

This leaves third-round DT Jonathan Bullard as the last remaining 2016 draft pick to sign his rookie contract.

Floyd, 23, was taken with the No. 9 overall pick by the Bears. There was talk that Floyd was atop the Giantsโ€™ draft board, which explains why the Bears elected to move up ahead of New York and grab him.

According to OverTheCap.com, Floyd receives a four-year contract worth $15,782,990 to go along with a signing bonus of $9,678,536. The contract includes a fifth-year option for the team to consider in 2019.

During his three years at Georgia, Floyd recorded 182 tackles, 26.5 tackles for a loss, 17 sacks, five forced fumbles, two recoveries and four pass defenses.
