The Bears are signing Ryan Anderson, the punter himself Tweeted on Monday.
Anderson will give the Bears depth behind second-year player Trenton Gill, whom they drafted in the seventh round last year. He received generally favorably reviews for his performance and work ethic. Special teams coordinator said in November that Gill, who averaged 46 yards per punt, was the kind of person he’d want marrying his daughter.
The 27-year-old has never punted in an NFL game, though he spent part of the 2019 offseason with the Giants.
