Williams expected to arrive before practice begins

If traffic isn’t too bad getting from his suburban home, Chris Williams just might be on the practice fields in Bourbonnais in time for practice here in two hours.

The first-round pick agreed to terms on a five-year contract and is expected to sign it when he arrives at Olivet Nazarene University.

Williams’ five-year deal has a base value of $13 million and can top out at more than $15 million if he meets various triggers. The deal includes roughly $9 million guaranteed.

We’ll see if he’s on the field when the action gets going in a little while.
