Caleb Williams of the Chicago Bears has not signed a rookie contract, and it appears as though that could spell a heap of trouble for not just the Bears, but the NFLPA's rule book.

Earlier today, we reported on how Caleb Williams commented on his rookie contract issues. Overall, it would appear as though he is not the one taking care of the negotiations. Instead, he has put his lawyers in charge.

"I'm not handling that," Williams said, via the Chicago Tribune. "My lawyers and attorney and everybody, the head of the Bears, everybody up there up top is handling that. That's not my position that I'm handling."

According to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk, Williams just gave away some crucial information. Simply put, the way he is currently handling his negotiations is against the NFLPA's rules. He should have an NFLPA approved agent, but instead, he is going through lawyers, which is simply not allowed for rookie deals.

"The reality is that, because Williams doesn't have an NFLPA-certified agent, he's technically the one who should be handling it," Florio wrote. "His lawyers aren't permitted, per NFL Players Association regulations, to negotiate on his behalf with the Bears."

Be sure to let us know if you think Caleb Williams will get a deal done soon, in the poll below. Additionally, be sure to stay tuned to Let's Bear Down for all of the latest news and updates from around the NFL world.
