In addition to the list above, they have also signed quarterback Matt Barkley. Barkley takes the place of David Fales, who is reuniting with his former head coach Marc Trestman in Baltimore.
In addition to these players, you'd expect that if they clear waivers the Bears would also like to add some of their recently waived players like Cornelius Edison.
