Titans linebacker Dylan Cole takes the field in November.

The Bears are signing Dylan Cole, a linebacker and special teamer who started eight games and recorded 64 tackles last season for the Titans. His decision to sign a one-year deal came Thursday, one day after visiting Halas Hall.

Cole played a whopping 74 percent of the Titans’ special teams snaps last season — a figure that’s in line with the way he found his niche in the NFL. He played 76 percent of the Titans’ kicking downs when he was healthy in 2021 and between 62 percent and 68 percent in each of four seasons with the Texans.
