The Bears continue to add defensive depth with a one-year deal for cornerback Artie Burns

The Bears clearly went into this offseason prioritizing defensive depth, as the team has reportedly made another move on Saturday afternoon to address that side of the ball:

Burns is a former first-round pick out of the University of Miami, where he was teammates with the recently re-signed Deon Bush. The corner, still only 24 years old, was drafted No. 25 overall in 2016 and started nine games for Pittsburgh as a rookie, logging 52 solo tackles and three interceptions.

The following season, Burns started all 16 games for the Steelers, but his playing time has since dwindled.
