The Chicago Bears are signing free-agent linebacker Barkevious Mingo on a one-year deal, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Sunday night.

Rapoport added that Mingo is "a familiar face" for Chicago defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano, who was the Indianapolis Colts head coach when Mingo played there in 2017, as well as special teams coordinator Chris Tabor, who served as the Cleveland Browns special teams coordinator during Mingo's tenure there.

The Browns drafted Mingo sixth overall in the 2013 draft. The 29-year-old played for the Browns through the 2015 season.
