The Chicago Bears have been anything but quiet so far in this 2017 offseason. Yesterday, the Bears signed quarterback Mike Glennon, wide receiver Markus Wheaton, tight end Dion Sims, and safety Quintin Demps. It has recently been announced from multiple sources that Prince Amukamara will also be a Bear.
Prince Amukamara signs with Bears, per @JordanRaanan.

Bears will be signing former Giants, Jags CB Prince Amukamara, source says.

A former first-round draft pick, Amukamara should be a nice, veteran addition to this below average secondary. He played in 14 games (started 12) last season and recorded 49 tackles and 6 passes defended. With the additions of Amukamara and Demps, the Bears secondary will have a much different look as cornerback Kyle Fuller will also return this season after missing all of last season with a knee injury. The financials of the contract have yet to be released, but we do know it is a one year deal.
Prince Amukamara told me just now it’s a 1-year deal. #Bears #Chicago
