These Bears are officially free agents as new league year opens

The NFL’s new league year has officially kicked off, where signings and trades become official. That includes the Chicago Bears trading the No. 1 pick to the Carolina Panthers for two first-rounders, two second-rounders and receiver DJ Moore.

But there are now a slew of former Bears that are officially free agents after some pending transactions have become official at the start of the new league year, which includes linebacker Nicholas Morrow, wide receiver Byron Pringle and safety DeAndre Houston-Carson.

There are still some in-house free agents that general manager Ryan Poles could bring back. But they have an opportunity to explore opportunities outside of Chicago.

Here’s a look at the Bears who are officially free agents at the start of the new league year:
