Bears add CFL free-agent cornerback Tre Roberson

The Bears are signing Calgary Stampeders cornerback Tre Roberson to the largest compensation deal to leave the Canadian Football League in 11 years, according to ESPN.

Roberson played on the other side of the ball — quarterback — at Indiana and Illinois State. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Vikings in 2016, spending most of the year on their practice squad.

The Bears have veterans Kyle Fuller and Prince Amukamara under contract for next season, though they could part with the latter with minimal financial penalty.
