The Chicago Bears finally made a move on the second day of free agency’s legal tampering period. It just wasn’t a move that’s likely to have fans excited.
The Bears are re-signing long snapper Patrick Scales to a one-year, $1,272,500 veteran benefit deal with a maximum $152,500 signing bonus and $1,047,500 total guaranteed, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
In his seven-year career, Scales has appeared in 88 games as a long snapper with the Ravens (2014) and Bears (2015-21), where he recorded eight special teams tackles.
