On a day in which the New England Patriots added quarterback depth to begin their new regime and the Miami Dolphins shelled out the most guaranteed money to a defensive back in league history, the Chicago Bears made a pair of under-the-radar moves to shore up their defense and special teams depth.
Late into the night, the Chicago Bears agreed to a one-year deal worth $1.1 million with $887,000 fully guaranteed with former 2013 No. 6 selection, Barkevious Mingo. The move won’t shift the Vegas Super Bowl odds, but it does provide the Bears with depth at a position it sorely lacked at times a season ago.
