The Chicago Bears have signed linebacker DeMarquis Gates and waived rookie linebacker Christian Albright with an injury designation, the team announced Saturday.
Gates is a former undrafted free agent by the Cleveland Browns in 2018, but he was cut later that same summer. He’s had NFL stops in Cleveland (2018), Washington (2019) and Minnesota (2020). Gates also appeared in the AAF (Memphis Express, 2019), XFL (Houston Roughnecks, 2020), CFL (Saskatchewan Roughriders, 2021) and most recently the USFL (Birmingham Stallions, 2022).
