(670 The Score) The Bears will re-sign long snapper Patrick Scales to a one-year deal, NFL Media reported.
Scales, 36, is the longest-tenured player on the Bears' roster. He has been with the team since 2015, playing in 120 games.
The Bears retained Scales just days before free agency opened. The open negotiating window begins Monday, while free agency will officially start when the league new year begins Wednesday afternoon.
