The Chicago Bears have an offensive line unit full of guards. They’ll have a defense full of linebackers ahead of OTAs this offseason. The Bears signed two linebackers, T.J. Edwards and Tremaine Edmunds, in the early free agency period last week. They added to their stock at linebacker and for their special teams Thursday morning.
According to Ian Rapoport with the NFL Network, the Bears are signing former Tennessee Titans linebacker Dylan Cole. He started eight games for the Titans last season.
