On Friday the Chicago Bears brought in four linebackers on a tryout basis, and it would appear that general manager Ryan Poles liked what he saw from at least one of them; DeMarquis Gates.
It’s being reported by Heavy’s Matt Lombardo that the Bears have agreed to terms with the 2022 All-USFL performer. Once the Bears make it official they’ll need to make a move to fit him on the 90-man roster.
The 26-year-old Gates was originally signed as an undrafted free agent of the Cleveland Browns in 2018, but he was cut that summer.
