The Bears are tendering defensive end Daniel Hardy a contract, a source confirmed. Hardy was an exclusive rights free agent, which gave his team the right of first refusal to sign him. Hardy played on 85% of the team’s special teams downs last year in his only season with the team.
The Bears are tendering another exclusive rights free agent, offensive lineman Bill Murray, a contract., a source confirmed. The Bears claimed Murray, who converted to offensive line from defensive line, from the Patriots in August.
