Restaffing/up-sizing Bears D continues with Tracy Porter signing

It is another sub-radar signing in the Bears’ 2015 but is also another that underscores the magnitude of possible changes coming to one of the NFL’s worst 2014 defenses.

The Bears signed veteran cornerback Tracy Porter to a one-year contract, bringing in another tall (5-foot-11) cornerback candidate for the job opposite Kyle Fuller (5-foot-11) in a defense that could have as many as eight new starters from the lineup that finished last season.

Porter will be among a group of cornerbacks competing to fill a spot for so many years set with Charles Tillman in place.
