Alfred Collins became only the third second-round pick from this year’s draft to sign his rookie deal yesterday. Another defensive lineman taken in that round has now done the same. 
Shemar Turner and the Bears have agreed to terms, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The Texas A&M product was selected 62nd overall. That slot has seen 52.9% and 52.6% of the four-year contract guaranteed over the past two years (h/t Jason Fitzgerald of Over the Cap).
Full details with respect to guarantees in this case are unknown at this point, but it certainly stands to reason Turner will not receive his entire pact fully locked in. Indeed, a 35% guarantee for the third year of the contract has been included in this agreement, Mike Klis of 9News reports. It will be interesting to see if that helps to serve as another benchmark for the other second-rounders who have yet to sign with training camps looming.
Turner spent four years with the Aggies, and he posted six sacks during his junior campaign. Expectations were high for a repeat of that production last year, but he only managed a pair of sacks and six tackles for loss (after recording 11 the previous season). Still, Turner was one of several highly-regarded interior defenders in the 2025 class, and it came as little surprise when he was selected in the second round.
The Bears added Grady Jarrett in free agency, and the longtime Falcon will handle starting duties with his new team. Chicago also has the likes of Gervon Dexter, Zacch Pickens and Andrew Billings in place along the defensive line. Turner will look to carve out a rotational role during his rookie season and develop into a notable contributor over time.
Chicago still has two more second-rounders to sign over the coming days: receiver Luther Burden (taken 39th overall) and offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo (56th). With Turner’s pact taken care of, the team will look to get the other two signed before Saturday’s rookie reporting date for training camp.
