Bears Sign Five 2025 Draft Picks Including First-Round TE Loveland

The Chicago Bears have signed five of their 2025 NFL Draft picks to rookie contracts, including first-round tight end Colston Loveland, who secured a fully guaranteed four-year deal worth over $26.6 million. Loveland, the 10th overall pick and Michigan standout, is expected to be a key offensive weapon alongside Cole Kmet, bringing strong receiving skills despite recovering from shoulder surgery. Other signees include linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II, defensive back Zah Frazier, offensive lineman Luke Newman, and running back Kyle Monangai. The Bears have yet to sign their three second-round picks—Luther Burden III, Ozzy Trapilo, and Shemar Turner—but those deals are anticipated soon. This signing marks the earliest Bears first-round pick deal under GM Ryan Poles, reflecting an organizational push to integrate rookies promptly ahead of minicamp and upcoming activities. The Bears hope these new additions will help improve on last season's 5-12 finish and support the new coaching regime under Ben Johnson.
