Bears Rumors: Justin Jones Agrees to Contract After Larry Ogunjobi Failed Physical

The Chicago Bears previously agreed to terms on a three-year, $40.5 million ($26.35 million guaranteed) with free-agent defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi, but they will no longer be signing him following a failed physical.

Bears general manager Ryan Poles announced the news in a statement, per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network:
