Contract disputes between the Bears and Smith’s representation, CAA Football, over language in his rookie contract regarding whether the team would reclaim his guaranteed money if he was suspended due to the NFL’s new rule prohibiting contact leading with the helmet caused a significant delay in the signing of his contract.
The Bears preferred for decisions to be made by the league, while CAA fought for phrasing that would safeguard Smith’s guaranteed wages. This conflict was made worse by skepticism about the rule and the frequency of tackles in Smith’s position.
On August 14, Smith and the Bears agreed to a fully guaranteed, $18.47 million contract, including an $11.51 million signing bonus. He was the final first-round choice to sign in his draft class with his team.
