The Bears signed restricted free agent Josh Hill to a three-year offer sheet on Tuesday. The New Orleans Saints have five days to match the offer, according to multiple sources.
Hill, 25, visited Halas Hall last Friday. In three seasons with the Saints he compiled 36 receptions for 340 yards and eight touchdown receptions.
The Bears have been busy this offseason addressing the tight end position. The team re-signed Zach Miller to a two-year deal, and traded Martellus Bennett and a sixth-round pick to the New England Patriots for a fourth-round pick. They also have Rob Housler and Khari Lee on the roster.
