In this story:

CINCINNATI — Bengals rookie offensive tackle Amarius Mims is one of just four unsigned players from the 2024 NFL Draft.

Training camp starts next week and rookies can't practice unless they sign their contract.

Should fans be concerned?

Not yet. As long as Mims signs his deal before the first day of practice (Wednesday, July 24), then there's no reason to be worried.

The Vikings still haven't signed quarterback J.J. McCarthy or defensive end Dallas Turner—both first round picks. Trey Benson is also unsigned.

The Bears agreed to terms with No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams this week. Wide receivers Rome Odunze and Malachi Corley also signed this week.

There's no reason to worry as long as the Bengals sign Mims before the start of training camp.
