Bears sign Amukamara to 1-year deal

One day after signing safety Quintin Demps, the Bears addressed their secondary again Saturday by inking cornerback Prince Amukamara to a one-year contract.

The 27-year-old has appeared in 69 NFL games with 57 starts over six seasons with the New York Giants (2011-15) and Jacksonville Jaguars (2016), registering 310 tackles, seven interceptions, 49 pass breakups, seven tackles-for-loss, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries.

Amukamara was selected by the Giants with the 19th pick in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft out of Nebraska. The 6-foot, 207-pounder won a Super Bowl ring as a rookie, playing in seven games with New York, all as a reserve.
