Oftentimes, it benefits a prospect to go undrafted so they can pick their team from several suitors rather than being drafted to a situation they deem as a long shot to make a roster. The UDFA signing frenzy will see players and their agents prematurely sharing information before a contract is signed, so don’t assume these are new Chicago Bears until they officially reveal their class. We’ll keep track of all the reports and rumors surrounding the Bears’ UDFA class and their rookie camp invitees in the tracker lists below.

UDFAs reported to have signed with the Bears

If my math is correct, the Bears have 68 veteran players on the roster; they just added 7 draft picks, which leaves 15 spots for UDFAs on the 90-man offseason roster. In the last two years, they received an international roster exemption in the offseason for punter Tory Taylor, and if they are eligible for it again, they’ll have a 91st spot. Keep in mind that some of the players reported to have signed as a UDFA may only be try-out invitees, so stay tuned for the official announcement from the Bears, which we’ll share here at WCG as soon as possible.
