ESPN.com's Field Yates reported, per a source, on Tuesday that the Chicago Bears have signed New Orleans Saints restricted free agent Josh Hill to an offer sheet. The Saints have five days to match the offer.
According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, the Bears offered Hill a three-year deal, which came a few days after he visited the team on Friday.
The Bears are in need of a tight end after they dealt Martellus Bennett to the New England Patriots for a 2016 fourth-round draft pick.
