The Chicago Bears signed former Carolina Panthers offensive lineman Amini Silatolu to a one-year deal and waived quarterback Dalyn Williams, the team announced on Wednesday.
Silatolu joins the Bears after appearing in 34 games with 28 starts over four years (2012-15) in Carolina. The Panthers originally selected Silatolu in the second round of the 2012 NFL draft out of Midwestern State.
The interior of Chicago’s offensive line remains fluid with one week left until players report to training camp. A host of players will compete in the preseason for the starting left guard and center positions, including 2016 second-round choice Cody Whitehair, Ted Larsen, Hroniss Grasu and Silatolu.
