The Bears added depth to their defensive tackle position Wednesday when they agreed to sign James Lynch to a one-year deal, a source confirmed to the Sun-Times.
Lynch has spent the last two years with the Titans, where he appeared in every game, starting one, and totaled 1 ½ sacks. He spent 2020-23 with the Vikings, the team that drafted him in Round 4 out of Baylor, where he set the program’s career sacks record. He tore his ACL during training camp in 2023 and missed the entire season.
The Bears entered free agency with only two defensive tackles on their roster: Gervon Dexter and Grady Jarrett.
