Two weeks from today, the Bears will be in 11th-hour negotiations to get running back Cedric Benson to training camp on time. That is, of course, if a deal is not struck before then, but the chances of that happening aren't good for a number of reasons, the first being that the Bears' July 23 reporting date is earlier than any other team's. The Bears already were concerned about this scenario on draft day. That's what they talked about with Benson's agent, Eugene Parker, during the 15 minutes they were on the clock before announcing their selection. As the fourth overall pick, Benson will command about $15 million in total bonus money, and a deal like that doesn't get done easily. Consider also that in many cases, contracts fall like dominoes, and as of Thursday, only two players drafted on the first day had agreed to deals, one of them Bears wide receiver Mark Bradley. Bradley, a second-round pick from Oklahoma, signed for five years at $4.28 million and will count $690,000 against the team's rookie pool of $4,297,580.
