The Bears signed 14 players to reserve/futures contracts Tuesday, two days after their season ended with a playoff loss to the Rams.
Futures deals are contracts handed out to players not on the 53-man roster that take effect when the new league year begins in March.
Among those signed to futures deals were running back Brittain Brown, who scored against the Bengals this year; tight end Nikola Kalinic, who played special teams in the Bears’ two postseason games; and linebacker Nephi Sewell, whom the Bears signed earlier this month. His brother Noah, also a linebacker, is on the Bears’ roster.
